Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

There's a wonderful article in the 12/10 issue of Rolling Stone, and an AMAZING photo.

The interviewer and Tom discuss his latest live album project, George and the Wilburys, and lots of other great stuff. The highlight of the article is a great B & W photo (on pages 70-71) which shows Tom in his home studio with 33 guitars showing.

Front and Center are 3 Ricks:

Tom is reclining on a couch in front of the stage, holding either a 360/12C63, or a 360/12WB. There's also a 660/12TP in the foreground (which appears to have white guards), and his custom 1998 sitting on the stage behind the couch.

Awesome photo and excellent article!

Check our Tom Petty forum.

I posted about this last night.

I read this last weekend, and yes, it is a great photo and article.

I think the guitar Petty is holding is his RM1993 - the one that he played at the Superbowl. It appears to have dot inlays instead of triangles.

Hey Matthew

You're right. I was at Pick of the Ricks today and showed Chris the photo - he picked that out right away, too.
