Models in a Series, and Value.

I am looking to get a rickenbacker. I am for the first time in 7 years without a rick. It wasn't my choice. But anyway here I am today, in search of a unique rickenbacker. I prefer the 620 model. I like the feel of the neck mainly and the high gains. I also find the small body nice and snug feeling and I like that. I have not seen a 620 model that does it for me. I would love a blueboy and realize that is hard to find. I missed out on a 660DCM because the dealer said it was "red" and I don't like red guitars and didn't know what the DCM actually was. Bummer. Anyway, I started thinking that a 620 is just hard to find and I am seeing a bunch of 360's and 330's. My question is this:

When Rickenbacker puts out a run of a color for example Blueburst, How many are they making? Do they make more of one model compared to another? I see the new price list and the cheapest guitar is the one I want the 620. Does this mean that resale on a 620 in blueburst will be lower than a 360 blueburst? Does this mean that the 360 in time will appreciate and be more expensive to get? Or does it not matter. Meaning Do all models in the blueburst series sell for about the same, just because they are all part of a special run.

This doesn't answer your question, but there is currently a 620 in a unique color in Athens, GA.

Desert Gold is not so popular, and I usually don't like it but when I saw this 620, I changed my mind (still don't like it on 330's).

Im not sure what your asking. If one model in the same finish with be worth more than the other??

Could be, depending on the popularity of the model.

As far as a unique specimen in any model, the color of the year is definatly one way to go.

I am a defender of the Desert Gold finish myself,, its hard to photograph, but in person its a beautiful finish.

Blueboy isnt bad either.
