I ordered a Left-Handed 370/12 back in May and was told at that time it would be last part of Oct., first part of Nov. before delivery.
Does anyone know what the approximate delivery times are now?

I ordered a 370/6 in July, and feel your pain....
Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to your question.
We want our Ricks!!

Waiting is part of the Rickenbacker experience. No other manufacturer makes guitars like Rickenbacker, and no other manufacturer makes you wait! I am probably the only one, but I believe a waiting list is a great selling point as it shows both high demand for a product, and the manufacturer's unwillingness to compromise quality to fill orders.

I wasn't complaining about waiting, I'm Left-Handed 75% of the guitars I have I had to wait for, but it is nice to know if the wait time has changed and how much of a difference there is.

Hey Cafeathers,
Did you get your guitar yet? I'm using you as a measure, since you ordered yours before I did mine.

I fear it will be a 2004 thing then, seeing that the factory is closed over the holidays...

I'm still waiting on my 350v63 Monty Brown ordered in January of this year... The year before I ordered a 660/12 in Burgundy and I had it by July. I think the model has something to do with the wait time -- you probably won't wait as long for a 330 as you do for a less popular model like the 350v63...
I'd love to have the guitar in my hands now, but I just hope they take their time and make me a real nice one!

Unfortunately, my fat strat does not yet have a superior sibling....If I interpret Mr. Hall's recent posting correctly that 8 months is the average, then I am looking at March...oh well....

I contacted Rickenbacker by phone and by email and all I get is that they will get back to me as soon as they know something.
I just double checked and my order went in in April, not May as I thought. Which means I'm in month 9.

Are 650's on the long time list?

It's here! It's here! It's here!
The 370 is awesome. The neck and fretboard feel so great! My Hot Rod Deluxe is at a bandmate's house, so I have not experienced the full musical glory, but it sounds pretty good through the practice amp. Fireglo rules. The color of the fretboard is a wonderful complement. Kudos to those who put in the tremendous manufacturing effort. I'm looking forward to taking her out for a spin....I know you all know what it looks like, but pictures will be posted soon anyway.

Well, Rickenbacker is hella close to losing a customer. This is total BS. The "I'll get back to you as soon as I know something" responses are ****.
