"- The models 650S and 650D have been cut due to elimination of the oil finish process and in anticipation of updated models."

Does anyone have any news on this 17 month old news item?

Nope.

When I saw the thread topic, I thought this was a thread on Rick owners who'd had their guitars updated... :oops:

Over on the official forum JH mentioned that should Rickenbacker manage to get the back orders cleared that they've got a few new ideas relating to the 600 series of guitars.

I have 650 Dakota's slated for July. They will all be cleared from the backlog by the end of the year (as will the 325C58's).

Notice the word 'probably' in the statement. on past experience, one should never take Ric for granted. :D

But of course, the Rickordian 400f.
