Hello all...found this forum and am still grinnin! Cool...lotsa rick fanatics here'bouts!
I'm a canuck living near Toronto, and I'm searching for a used Rick, a 350/12 or a 370/12 from the 60's.
Could anyone point out a good online source for same? Also, failing that, what might a "new" one of those cost -- if they're still being made?
Thanks all....
Jim

Hi Jim, welcome to the forum!
You might be out of luck for those two models, if you're set on 1960's instruments. The a 60's 370/12 is a very rare guitar and hence quite expensive. I've only seen one or two for sale on-line in roughly 7 years of surfing. As for the 350/12, I believe they only started making those in the 1980's. The 350v63/12 is a pretty sweet guitar - there's a mapleglo one for sale at Pick of the Ricks (http://www.pickofthericks.com/). You can also check out Mike Parks' site: (http://www.the-music-connection.com/ric.htm). He usually has a good assortment of guitars in stock, and plenty on order that you can put a deposit down on.
Good luck, and let us know what you get!

Jim, welcome!
Why don't you try Googling the model number and the word "Rickenbacker"? Lots of stuff will come up.
You'll see several dealers mentioned, too.
The 330, 360 and 370-12 are still being made. Also 620 and 660-12 in solidbody "cresting wave" styles.
Also of course check out Rick's website!

Welcome to the forum Jim. Like Paul says, try the Ric web site http://www.rickenbacker.com/ for current models. You should be able to find a 370/12, or a 350v63/12 REASONABLY easily. Both are superb. Let us know how you get on.
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.
Hi Jim - there's a nice '66 330-12 at Capsule Music in Toronto.
