Awaiting pics, Melibee!

As for SH, watching that video, I think she looks better now. Maybe it's just my age.... older women are more appealing now.

You guys can drool over that girly-girl Susanna, I'll take Michael Steele.

There are a couple of spots when she swings the guitar to the right that the back of the guitar appears to be black (approx. 1:55 and at 3:08). Could be a repainted signature model with black lower pickguard and TRC added? (The things they'll do for all-white set design...)

Hi Everyone!

Newbie here, so apologies if I've posted in the wrong place.

In 1989 my wife purchased a second-hand Rickenbacker in Denmark Street, London, which was sold as a Liverpool 350 model. The serial number is from June 1987.

While looking for details about the guitar we found this article on the internet which suggests it might be a Susanna Hoffs prototype signature model: http://www.rickbeat.com/modelslibrary/3 ... hproto.htm

However, the article states that only 4 or 5 were made, so it does seem unlikely!

Here are some photos of the guitar:







Can anyone confirm if it is a prototype model or not?

Many thanks!

Welcome Adam!

While I can’t confirm, it certainly appears to be based on unique features and manufacture date.

Just confirming, it has a F0 serial prefix?

Thanks for the welcome John and Gary!

Yes, the serial number has a prefix of F0.
