Birthday guitar.

One day I would love to own a Ric that was 'born' the same time as me, Feb 1967. There are some really cool models around from that time too.
Has anyone on the forum got a Ric from their birth date?
I know for a lot of you guys that would probably be a frying pan, but that's still cool.

Don't have one, but I'd sorely love to. Any of the three from this 1956 catalog page would be just fine, thank you.

Wish I was born in 58! This has to be the best line up of Rickenbacker guitars ever.

A guitar from Ric from my birthday...
That's somewhere between the Frying Pan and a late Ken Leonard...

I'm not so sure. I'm about the same age as a Combo 400.

J-dog found one for me from September '85 (YI), but it was a 230 with a Kahler.

Good topic Rob.
I'll go for this December Nineteen Sixty Four 1997 model, which is on eBay at the moment for £8950 or $14,744.65 (in real money
)
