what would your own signature model look like?

310 MG
f-hole
trapeze, toasters, black knobs
otherwise modern hardware (tuners, white guards and trc)
Rick-o-sound

maybe a birdseye maple top
maybe a slightly tan-ish vintage tint rather than an yellowy amber tint

Oh, maaaan I'd love to have one of these!

This:

or a white neck-through 2030 with black hardware.

I'll steal a photo from jingle_jangle. I'd love to own a copy of this guitar.

White on white. If double bound, then white binding. And bind the freakin' headstock while yer at it. Pure white. Chrome, too. C'mon, RIC!!!

360/12 with 660 neck. simple enough they could even do it but they won't. oh well someone else will .

Aw, you guys are awesome! I've never seen so many beautiful guitars on one page together!

As for the specs on my own modest offering: Pretty much a "Modern Era" 320, love the thin and narrow neck, ultra short scale and those hi-gains (what a little screamer!) with the addition of "Shadow bass" demi-binding around the front edge and a wiring mod for more switching combinations.
Little sister to the S. Hoag signature model, maybe, but I think the binding is too much on the Hoag. It reminds me of those terrible thinline tele's from the seventies, like Chrissie Hynde played

I prefer something more subtle.
Ah, if I was only famous!

Yup, it's MWP's old Ric, very cool to know someone on the board owned it!

Brilliant guitar, the best of all my favorite features

How long ago did you own/sell it?

Hi Collin, it was about three years ago. I had it for a year or two.

It had MWP's custom arm for the vibrato which was much longer than a standard Ac'cent one and it was threaded so it screwed straight into it.

Lovely guitar to look at, but the middle pickup just got it the way for me.

I have some other pictures but have no idea how to post them here.

I sold it on and believe it is now back in the USA somewhere.

I should probably know this by now, but what is the model number of that guitar, Collin? I thought all of the RM double bound models had dot inlays rather than triangle inlays.

If sold in the USA it would be a 370S, no?

Definitely the most original finish here today, kind of like Macca's SPLHCB-MMT period version could have been if he'd have lain off the sugar cubes

hope I said that right. I mean I like it!

It was a one-off made for Marty Willson-Piper. Not sure if it every had a model number as such.

Well, the general consensus last time was that yes, it's a one off MWP custom, but if it had a model number- maybe 370v64 w/f-hole ?

Here's a photo from when I owned the MWP Rickenbacker. Note the elongated Ac'cent handle as I mentioned previously.
