Why no 500's?
Browsing through the excellent Register I noticed that Rickenbacker have never produced any kind of model with an associated number in the 500's. I wonder why. Superstition? Saving it for something special? 
Re: Why no 500's?
Sure they did. There were the Console 500 Series steel guitars...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Aye, but it's the 'Console 500' not the '500 Console' isn't it?cjj wrote:Sure they did. There were the Console 500 Series steel guitars...

Re: Why no 500's?
Well, they do actually refer to several models without using the "Console" prefix in the old catalogs...
