I have recently purchased several new Rickenbacker guitars and tried to add them to the registry. However, I am unable to add them as they have already been registered from the dealer website. Email sent to "admin at rickresource . com" (to the proper email address) come back as being undeliverable after multiple retries.
Interestingly, the used 2008 that I bought let me add it.
Is the register to keep track of the instruments only, or is it to associate them with the current owners?
Thanks.

Re: Registry update question
Are those instruments listed as CI (collected instrument)?CoryB wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:35 pm I have recently purchased several new Rickenbacker guitars and tried to add them to the registry.

Re: Registry update question
Yes, all three of them are marked CI. I see that means Collected Item, but what does that mean?
Re: Registry update question
That means that someone "rummaged" through websites and/or stores collecting data to add instruments to the register. I always thought (previous to learning this) that the owners of these instruments could add them to the register.
Re: Registry update question
You can 'own' an entry to the register if you become the owner of the instrument in question. Just drop the mods a message and the entry will be assigned to you. It takes a while as the mods are busy but you can then make changes to the entry (add photos and info etc) and the CI tag will disappear.
