Melissa: Suzi has a guitar in this clipping. Is it the one you people are interested in?

Very cool, Carole.
This has got to be the newest Suzi Arden 360/12 picture on the web. God I love this place!
Hey Melissa, the "RIC Chicks" lineup has just been updated thanks to Carole.

Very interesting that the guitar is sporting the "R" tailpiece by the time the photo was taken....

A cool thread, really.
I've learned so much today from chatting and researching on Suzi's guitar here.

I wonder how Ms Arden feels about having a place in guitar and Rickenbacker history?

Melissa: I'm sure the clipping was prior to 1970.
