Great looking guitar, Craig. It appears to have all the features of a 1997 SPC including a plexi TRC except no trapeze TP but an "R". I'm curious as to what model designation (if any) that RIC assigned to it.longhouse wrote:What a gorgeous guitar you have there. Three toasters, F-hole, 21 fret neck, Montezuma Brown...

Re: One more one off
I really hope that Mr. Hall decides to reintroduces these beauties one day...
They would be so easy to re-introduce too!
Re: One more one off
Beautiful guitar Craig. The MB is perfect for the 1998.

Re: One more one off
Except . . . this guitar is a one-off, so something would have to be changed if it was re-introduced, right? Hmmmm . . . I wonder what that could possibly be . . .RIC_FACTORY wrote:They would be so easy to re-introduce too!I really hope that Mr. Hall decides to reintroduces these beauties one day...

Re: One more one off
I think a little binding would be nice 
Re: One more one off
An "R" tailpiece on a 1998 is very good looking, such as fireglo and mapleglo finish 
REALLY hope that RIC makes it on their future plans (...with 1993 too )

Re: One more one off
I've got my money ready...
Re: One more one off
Congrats Craig.
"They would be so easy to re-introduce too!"
This statement is making my wallet omitt some strange noises!
But with a trapeze, 2 pickups and a Fireglo finish please

Rickenbacker 370/12 "White Falcon"
This late 1980's Rickenbacker 370/12 is a one-of-a-kind. Built to order for a Nashville session player who didn't take delivery, it was offered to us to sell.
The white finish, gold binding, gold plated parts, and uncarved 381 body depth would remind any guitar savvy individual of a Gretsch White Falcon. This resemblance seemed lost on the folks at Rickenbacker until it was pointed out to them after we presented it for sale.
We had the guitar for a couple of months before RIC CEO John Hall requested the guitar back. To my knowledge it is still hanging in his office with the remaining instruments in the company's collection.
This studio shot was taken during the same session as my lefty 1959 Les Paul Special that appears in The Les Paul Book, and a one-off Gibson that will be featured here soon. Jeffrey did not take this image. I am quite certain he wants that known, as he was less than complementary about the way it turned out. Regardless, it is an image of a truly one-of-a-kind Ricky 12.

IIRC that one has been discussed in a previous thread.

Re: One more one off
The highlighting in that post was not mine.
To clarify, it was John Hall who gave me the guitar to sell. I think it was generating too much attention, and several people called the factory asking about ‘custom shop’ instruments, so he asked for it to be returned. These days I’m sure I could have sold it with a single phone call...
