June of 1997 - If you change the O (letter) in your serial number to a 0 (number). You can look up any Rickenbacker serial number on the RIC website at
www.rickenbacker.com. Go to the
Service tab, and click on
Serial Number Decoder.

The standard "dinner and movie" scenario usually works.
Yeah, OK, it was too obvious.

I was going to say always treat it with respect, and don't pressure it into doing anything it doesn't want to.

Very, very nice, Kevin. My '99 360v64 is a Jetglo and it's a dream guitar.
I'm on the lookout for a Fireglo one either for myself or a mate in Australia..... or both!!
So don't let me near yours, OK? I might do a runner with it!

Man Howard that is sweet!
Hey Daniel were the American Rics and your 1997 made in the same factory? Or were the Morris types actually made in UK or somewhere else?

Kevin: Rose-Morris guitars (like all Rickenbackers) were built in the same factory in the USA. They were built to meet specs set by Rose-Morris in London in the early 1960's. They had decided to offer a limited line of Rickenbackers, all finished in Fireglo with Accent tailpieces and F-holes. The twelve-string RM1993 model was unique in that it was double-bound with dot neck markers, an F-hole, and trapeze tailpiece. This tailpiece was replaced by the 'R' on later production.

I just goes to show how classy this forum is that no one has suggested asking about playing with the G string or fiddling with the knobs.
