Rose Morris Rickenbacker Gallery

[godber]

Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Rose Morris export models. So in anticipation of a wonderful new range of factory special editions to celebrate the event , lets spend a year posting pictures of these beautiful and revered instruments.

If you like we can include USA "S" models and re-issues with "f" holes of varying designs

So I'll start with a March 1964 Rose Morris 1998 model, in Fireglo of course, suitably surrounded by the Union Flag.



How cool is that! Now lets see what this forum has got. Enjoy

A super thick fretboard on that one too, as I remember. The nicest reissue 1997 I've had.

Better than the 2012 Pearl White 1997 LE?? The tone/playability of the whites I played is way better than any of the earlier reissues I've owned/played and is not far off a '60's original. If you're talking just about the cosmetics, then I'd understand.

December 1986, 1997 model reissue.
