Anyone know how many and what models these guys have now? Thank God for them, they have always been solid musicians and Ric advocates.

The last time I saw Tom on telly was that VH-1 Storytellers, he used this 1993 is it I think, F-holes and gold plastic, but for just one song. He seems to like his Telecaster in the moment. Mike Campbell used this special built 325 (?), wider neck, so they say. He should try a 650.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Mike Campbell has three Rickenbackers of which I am aware: a 615 Jetglo; a 625/12 and a 360/12 Fireglo. You can see a couple photos of his instruments here. He also has another Rickenbacker look-alike which I have been unable to see closeup which is of interest to me. I looks like a Rickenbacker but I suspect has had, at the very least, custom work. If you have a photo of it, please send it along.

Tom's new single on his forthcoming album(out in October) has a Rickenbacker 12 all over it...sorry I didn't catch the title of the single...
