newbie checking-in with 350 12/v63 question
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2012 8:05 pm
Hello Ric guys, this being my very first post wanted to say thanks for including this old guy. i'm a child of the sixties who has now reached that age group - still young at-heart 
My very first guitar was a new (now very vintage) Gibson es330TD, and today i'm more a collector than a player; my first 12 string was a new Fender Villager - sorry i sold that a long time ago 
QUESTION: i came across what was explained to me to be a Ric that's now a bit rare (maybe collectable?) because it's out of production. I would like your knowledgeable opinion regarding fair price for a 'new' not ever previously sold/used 350 12/v63. I've not seen one on eBay to date. I've been captivated all these years since the sixties by the jangle but never owned a Ric... this would be my first. The finish on this particular 350 12 is natural maple; certainly beautiful but not flamey; again all new/original with 3 toaster pups and silver case; asking price w/tax approaching 2900.00. Thanks so much.

Is there a section in the forum or website that might list original list prices on discontinued and other Ric models?
If/when i'm able to negotiate a best price deal based on this terrific intelligence i'm guessing i'll be able to add my purchase info to the register; very cool.
