Hi . . .

I just bought the Jetglo 330 that beatlenut was selling, so I'm once again a Rickenbacker owner.

I used to have a red 620 with black binding and hardware, but sold it years ago when I decided to concentrate mainly on acoustic work. I've missed having a Rickenbacker . . .

I'm still primarily a fingerstyle acoustic player; in fact, I'm headed into the studio next month to record a couple of CDs for a national label. I play a mix of traditional Celtic music and contemporary originals. If you want to read more about me, or hear some of my music, venture over to my website: www.jimtozier.com. (If anyone is interested in buying my debut CD, I offer it for $10 shipped on other forums I'm on--and will do the same here. Just add a note to the e-mail/PayPal payment saying you're from the Rickenbacker forum).

The 330 is just for "fun" . . . and I'm looking forward to having a lot of fun playing it! Also looking forward to getting to know a few of you.

Hello Folks!

I am a newbie to the group. Own a 350V63 Rickenbacker and now I have my sights set on getting myself a 660 in the Montazuma Brown finish. The photo of the one I saw elsewhere in this site knocked my socks off. I have loved Rickenbacker guitars since the night I saw John Lennon use his on the first appearance of the Ed SUllivan show. That is dating myself but.....
An interesting thing, the 350 is the only guitar I have ever bought without having even picking one up. They are scarce as hen's teeth here in Vermont so I said what the heck, I've wanted one for the last 38 years, times a wasting. I have since found a really nice dealer in rural Maine of all places and that's only 3 hours from home.
Now, on to the 660!

Welcome to The Rickenbacker Forum Ralph. Congratulations on your new Rickenbacker. I have a very special place in my heart for the Model 350.

Thank's John for the welcome!
I have learned a lot, this is an amazing place.
Hopefully I will get a picture of "Arlene" my fireglo 350 up but for whatever reason I am having a bear of a time reducing the size of my images to be able to be used. I shall keep trying.

Thank you so much for this favor Patrick! I really can't wait to see the photo on the board!

Here you go!
The maximum dimensions are 500x500 and the size is 36kb, so I had to reduce the quality just a bit but other then that it should be fine.

The quality of this instrument still shines through.
