Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Pretty Nice...They are right up front stating: The guitars are made from left over parts from the Rossmeisl Factory in Germany. This must also be a limited edition.

I had heard rumors at last NAMM, of leftover parts from the Rossmeisl Factory floating about somewhere...now we know where they landed!

I was hoping this was gonna be a zombie thread.

Did the Zombies play Hoyers on any of their hits? "Time Of The Season"

look at the tailpieces, Roger is the name.

...Guitars are The Game.

It seemed cool at first, but then I found a Long Beach online for 1945 Euros, for that price I don't know how cool it is.

Anyways, if you are into Hoyers, here are some Rick copies (for about as much as new Ricks) and some other guitars from the 70s: http://www.musikkeller.com/d/hoyer.html#

Note also that those guitars have that typically Rossmeisl shape F-hole. Rickenbacker and Fender guitars from his hand also have that typical shape.

A Roger "Junior" guitar note the german carve and that typical F-hole shape.

A Rickenbacker 1997, bearing the Rossmeisl F-hole.

A Fender Thinline Telecaster (Humbucker version) with the Rossmeisl F-hole

A Fender Coronado with Rossmeisl F-holes

Is it only me (and this will probably be unpopular) but the F-hole only looks right on the Roger Junior.

To my untrained eye John, the Roger Jr. guitar looks like it has the best designed f holes of the lot.

Yeah, my eye is "untrained" also, but I'd rate the Coronado second, the Rick third (I like the cateye better), and the Telly just butt ugly.

Yes Dale, I believe they did.
