Rickenbacker 480

I think of this as the quintessential Rick fireglo. Anyone recognize it?

No, but can I have it???

Woodie, can you share with us your RoMo and related collection?

This one was specially made for and used by Marty Willson-Piper of the Australian band, The Church. Note the binding and triangle fret markers, not present on any other 1998 derivative. It also has a custom vibrato handle. Marty carved his initials in the headstock under the trussrod cover in the rod cavity. I've owned it for several years.

That is just gorgeous Alan !

So, if I can guess your (awesome) RoMo collection, Woodie...do you have:

1993/12 reissue
1993/6
1994 (that's what I call this MWP model)
1997 reissue
1997SPC
1998PT
360/12V64 with f-hole

Jake,
I'm not positive but I think the models are like this:

1993/12 reissue
1993/6 reissue
1998 MWP
360S/12V64 MG

I'd call it a 375S.

I like it! Thanks, Dan. Or maybe a 375S OS...
