Some Ebay auctions can be far more exciting than any sportgame.

Apparently there were two bidders who really, really wanted it. The next highest bidder was at $3920.

That extra .125 inch of nutwidth was worth $6K (along, of course, with the other unique goodies on this guitar)! Now there's something to leverage!

If boggled means having a lump in your throat and a 1000-mile stare, I'm sure the winner of this auction is somewhat boggled, too.

I don't recall a RIC factory outlet one-off ever going for five figures.

Yeah, I guess I just never imagined a non-celebrity owned Rickenbacker could ever fetch that kind of price. Its really boggling! :shock:

Nah nothing like that. Eric was given the gears over that guitar by a few people. The price it sold for says it all IMO. :wink:

what a gift for Rickenbacker. This is the ultimate market research on how much people want a 660-style neck on a 330/360 body. And, consider it has the black hardware and binding, which is not as popular as the traditional-style hardware and binding. Wide neck hollow body 12s, MAKE IT HAPPEN! :D

I guess its time to paint my wide-neck 360's white and fish out some black hardware from the parts bin...

Very interesting bidding....sort of creeps up to just over $4K, then a jump to $10K....Why would anyone more than double an existing bid?
