Carl Wilson Questions

Post by scoobster28 »

I was wondering if anybody knew the breakup of the 500 CW models that were made. They were offered in Jetglo and Fireglo in both 6 and 12 string versions. Any imformation about the quantities of each would be great. Thought you might now because you might have access to company records. Thank!

I think it was 500 12 strings and 500 6 strings????....the black ones might be more rare, I would think most folks ordered a Fireglo???
Just a guess....
John Hall should know the break down....did you ask anyone at Rickenbacker ???

Yes, and they turned me to this site. I only got some secretary, though, and if John Hall could reply that would be appreciated.
