Great photos Mark, thanks . Craddock just gets better and better, when I saw him in May he played with such ease. The scratch plates on that guitar have white edgeing, how's that?

It's 2-ply black on white - with a bevelled edge so that the white shows nicely. I read somewhere that they were painted black, but I've seen close up shots where the black layer has at least 1mm depth.

I made a set for mine too.

That's not really fair now is it, showing me pictures like that - I want, I want, I want one Mummy NOW! I'm not leaving until you get me that one! Very nice indeed Mark

Mark: Very very nice. Well turned out. I am so very relieved that you have not carved a slogan into the upper bout.

Real beauties - How much they be? c.£10K?

To much for me Travis!
I'd settle for a good reproduction,sadly that's the only way i'll ever get one.
Because i fear if Rickenbacker ever did reissue them the price would just make me cry!
Its just aswell they never will reissue them eh!

Superb job Mark!
Now all you need to do is take it out into your garage and scrape it round the walls for an hour or two.

I'm suprised that Wellers original black 330 is still alive.
I remember him swinging it round his head and slamming it into his amp a few times at Wembley in '82.
