There's one that looks a lot like this at the Gear Trader right here in Huntington Beach.
I was in there yesterday and they told me "it used to be owned by a Rickenbacker employee". They also said it had built in compression. They also said that it doesn't have a serial # on it.
It's got that same "brown burst" type color.
That's all I know, just thought I's pass it on.

Right, I saw it the day they got it in (about six months back), and I didn't even make the Kenny connection---doh!
Anyways, the one in Texas seems to have more of the story matching up....let's hope for the best Kenny---that would be amazing dude!

He probably found out about this thread and is now trying to figure out how much to jack up the price...

OK, he's responded. It's definitely my old guitar.
Thing is, he's holding firm on the price, and I know that guitar is hammered. The clear coat peeled off the neck at the heel, and there's checking on the entire face.
I also haven't heard back from Phlemmy or other Austinites, and the seller would rather not ship.
So I guess I need to figure out if it's worth $2500 to buy back a chunk of my youth.
