Noticed this while browsing 58 365

I'm not interested, nor do I know much about them and no pictures but the price on this seems reasonable to me. Is 2 " standard for double bound or when did they change the body depth.

Rickenbacker 365 '58, Refinished Natural, Double bound deep (2") body, Missing trem arm, Grover tuners installed, EC-, $2495

The older ones did have a nice deep body.

Is this style what is referred to as the capri model in some discussions or is that something different again ?

It would be a Capri if it was a '58- but guitars advertised as '58 Rics rarely turn out to be '58 Rics.

10 to 1 the missing trem arm goes to a ca. 1960 Accent by Paul vibrato. I've asked for pics and additional info, but haven't heard back yet.

Okay, I just checked my mail and...

It's a 1960 365 with Accent by Paul vibrato. SN is 2V089.

It's nice though, and well worth the money- but it's already on hold with another hold if the first one falls through.

OK, thanks, I'm not interested in buying it anyway, my taste in Rics points me in other directions. My question was more for personal knowledge. It would have been nice to see some pictures though as it sounds like a very nice guitar.

Tony is correct. It is a '60 365. And it is on it's way to me, hee hee

. Brian, I owe you one, pal!

Clearly, larger pics are needed to appreciate it:

Congratulations John, glad to hear you got it. The picture certainly confirms what the description indicated, that its a very nice guitar.

Jwilli....It would be interesting to see what the pot dates are as well as why the pickguard shape and lack of it's second 'deck'.
My 60' pg extends up between the pups as well as having 2 pieces.

Edit;
Duuuhh....your 360 seems to be missing the top part of the pg which extends between the pups.
My lower pg piece is the same as yours.

David, does your lower pickguard go between the pickups too- or just the top? It would be pretty unusual for the lower guard to be like that.

The upper guard of this guitar has likely just been removed.
