I don't know the story on this one, or where I even got these pics, but here's a gorgeous white one:

I agree Melissa. I don't have a 350 either and I reckon Jetglo is the way to go. The last one that JB posted is fabulous Image

Yup, Larry has done some cool work and is going to be doing something similar on the 350 that John K. posted on the last page.

Darren, the only reason that you don't have a 350 is 'cause Aitch has got them ALL!
I agree with you Melissa, the SH350 is definitely something special!

Aw come please stop this !!!!! I have to find a way to make the wife believe I need a new 350; AFG would be nice too !!!

Looking at the others here though, I think I could be happy with any colour.

Melissa, I'll second Gregs comments.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Of course, Melissa is fingering a Susannah Hoffs Signature Edition with checker binding. I think that might be Gary Clauson's, shot at the 75th event, right, Melibee?

Right, Paul....

Gary's 350 SH was an absolute dream to play--it felt and sounded amazing, and as a bonus it looked terrific too!

Here is my very first Rickenbacker 4003.
It was a beautiful work of art. It was a brand new 2005.
I had to get rid of it because I absolutely despised the neck profile.
