Lemmy 6-string? What madness is this?

"Like" Craig's picture!

That harp is at the museum? Interesting it's still around after all those years!

Werner, "You and two others like Craig's post."

It was intended for a member of the Motorhead organization but . . . circumstances made me reconsider accomodating them.

Well I am intrigued... Did Lemmy make some kind of uncomplimentary remark about Rickenbacker perhaps?

I can fully understand why you'd make this comment with regard to a Capri reissue John. Clearly seems like a big job to me.

However, to swap the slash hole jig to an f-hole and use a C63 unbound neck with dot inlays (presumably less work than a bound neck with triangle inlays) would actually produce a 1993 reissue with no extra work/cost (and arguably less for the reason I mentioned) over a 360/12C63. It seems many of your loyal customers are waiting to buy one of these guitars. Perhaps you'd care to give your considered business judgement on that one.

Given we have loyal customers currently stacked up 18-24 months for product we already have in production, what would be the business logic of making another model that would backlog things further?

That doesn't mean it wouldn't be a cool instrument but I can think of a dozen other reissues and clean sheet designs which are just as deserving.

Old body wings on an old neck. Nothing new there. It was intended for a member of the Motorhead organization but . . . circumstances made me reconsider accomodating them.

I listen to Motorhead a lot and have an LK. You can give to me instead. I'm much nicer......

In other words.....wait for the book.

Bwahahahaha!

You guys are all whacked; the next three Rick reissues will be the banjoline, the aluminum violin, and the frying pan.

Don't forget the giant tub bass!

I'm not sure if they ever made a tub bass, but back around 1935-36 they made these:
