Thanks Kevin & john: Yes this 315 is mine. These are SO rare. I would guess that less than 30 of these were made between 1959 & 1969.

Notice in the closeup of the TRC how the bottom edge is knocked off a bit to match the neck width at the nut. My own '67 625 is just like this, too.

I love the way the FGs from these years ages...

That is a really gorgeous guitar! Thanks for sharing the photos. I'm not a big fireglo fan, but I really like the appearance of that subtle fireglo finish. :D :D

Could I get a template of your upper pick gaurd? No one has them for a 315, not even Rickenbacker. I can't find pick guards anywhere and my upper guard is missing.
