Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Can anyone tell me if the word Rickenbacker on the truss rod cover on the headstock of the 350 Suzanna Hoffs is smooth or raised?

Appears to be raised-letter based on these photos: http://www.rickresource.com/rrp/hoffscloseup.html

Jim,why do you ask the question have you a 350SH with a smooth TRC?

I am looking at one that has the raised logo just want to make sure it is correct.

It is raised. See my response in the other thread for a picture of it.

The good doctor comes prepared!

I like that model very much. Does it have ROS?

Nope, mono output ... and 24-fret neck, too.

A 350 SH would be a really cool guitar to have. I would probably ruin it by using it regularly for gigs though. I like the combination of the smaller body with the full scale neck, and the double bound body, neck binding and triangle fret inlays.

One of my regular gigging guitars is a Gretsch silverjet-quite a contrast to the 381. The 350 SH would be a nice small-bodied Ric that's semi-hollow bodied. I like the shape better than the 600 series as well.

Truly is one of the most unique Rics that there is. If I had had the cash, I would have bought one for this girl who was close friends with me. She didn't play guitar, but I think she liked the Bangles.

btw last time i looked mike parks had one 350sh for sale.

Is there also something different about the neck on this model?

Besides the full width inlays and binding?
