Congratulations, Marty. Will we call it a 345? Regardless it is a great looking Rickenbacker. Please tell us more when you get a chance to play it for a while. Don't forget to register it.

I called, in the "60s" it would have been a 345, now its a "340 AFG VP VB" vintage pickup special order with a vibrato.

But 345 works for me :D

Yes, in a day or two

Beautiful!Now you really can say "They don't make like that anymore" because Rickenbacker announced on 12/13/07 they weren't going to make them like that anymore.

Yeah I heard that too.

No more orders for Toaster tops or Vibratos...
The 370 and 340 are no longer available?
Unless??? On a vintage reissue model?


But I hear that you will still be able to buy the toaster tops pickups and vibratos separately.
I wonder about warranty when replacing PU's or tailpiece, no matter how well executed :?

Marty: Point taken. No matter what we call it, we can agree that it is special.

Excellent guitar, Marty. Fireglo, triple toasters, and an Accent. Woo! Enjoy it.
