Melissa Etheridge Ric Guitar?

In or around 1995 Melissa Etheridge put out the album 'Your Little Secret' and supposedly recorded several tracks with a Rickenbacker. Does anyone know which model she used (pictured), and has she ever played a Ric live? I have seen her many times over the years and aside from her Ovations, only have seen her use a PRS, and a Strat once.

Looks like a 610 in the pic. Maybe even a 610/12. Cool.

Thanx again John. I have never seen a 610 6 or 12 with a black on black head. When did the 610 stop production? Do you have one, or two

?

I just saw her in Buffalo last week (man, can that girl play a guitar) and talked to the guitar tech about some tuning tricks for her signature Ovation Graphite 12 String Model for me to try on mine. He has been with her for 3 years and has not seen a Ric in the collection she has used on the road the past 3 summers.

I saw her using a 610 or 620 (Fireglo, I think) on TV once. Could've been 10 years ago.
