Took a photo of my family of Rickenbackers today and thought I'd share:

I have no finished recordings that I'm willing to share. Hopefully I'll have some tracks to share in the future.

But you can hear the '66 12-string here (it used to belong to New Colony Six):

Hey, Rod, would you please convert the 12 string into a Suzi Arden tribute guitar, please!

Nice group of FG Ricks!

Fantastic shot!

I especially love the dark FG on the '64 330S. Was that guitar originally built with the trapeze?

Yes, the '64 is stock with the trapeze. And yes, it's my favorite. Here's a close-up:

That's a super rare guitar with a factory trapeze as the vast majority of '64 f-holes would have been RoMo exports with the Accent....I can't imagine they built more than a handful in this configuration for the US domestic market. What a stunningly beautiful guitar!!

What a great collection! There is something really special about 60's 330's.

Another great guitar! But the FG on yours looks a lot darker (almost black) towards the edges...is that just a trick of the light/camera or is it really as dark as it looks "in the flesh"?

It looks different under different lighting conditions, and is very difficult to capture using a digital camera, but it really is pretty dark around the edges. This is a bit closer to what it actually looks like:
