Signature models

Post by david/wales/u.k »

How many signature Rics has there been (guitars) and how many are produced or does it vary for each artist. I believe Pete Townsend was the first one with only a couple of hundred produced but how many have there been since then? (would like to see the Roger McGuinn model reissued especially as the onboard compressor would be much improved now ( I know that limited edition means just that but it's a nice thought- I would order one for sure)

Hello all!

Is there any production stats available of how many 6 strings vs 12 strings Carl Wilson's were produced in the 500 guitars? :?:
Jetglo and Fireglo stats would be interesting to know too.

Mr.John Hall?? Is this data available to share?

John
