Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

How many signature Rics has there been (guitars) and how many are produced or does it vary for each artist. I believe Pete Townsend was the first one with only a couple of hundred produced but how many have there been since then? (would like to see the Roger McGuinn model reissued especially as the onboard compressor would be much improved now ( I know that limited edition means just that but it's a nice thought- I would order one for sure)

Townsend model - 250 made
McGuinn - 1000
John Kay - 250
Lennon - 2500
Hoffs - 250
Petty - 1000
Squire - 1000
Frey - 1000 intended
Lemmy - 60
Carl Wilson - 500

And in the Register of these we have -

Townsend model - 250 made - 34 in Register
McGuinn - 1000 - 282 in register
John Kay - 250 - 32 in register
Lennon - 2500 - (I thought it was 2000 made) - 202 in register
Hoffs - 250 - 49 in Register
Petty - 1000 - 160 in register
Squire - 1000 - 186 in register
Frey - 1000 intended - 250 actual?? - 23 in register (5 bass - 18 guitars)
Lemmy - 60 - 14 in register
Carl Wilson - 500 - 130 in register

Also don't forget the first signature model - the reverse fireglo "Joe Edwards" - Capris. There are 3 of them in the register...

Hello all!

Is there any production stats available of how many 6 strings vs 12 strings Carl Wilson's were produced in the 500 guitars?
Jetglo and Fireglo stats would be interesting to know too.

Mr.John Hall?? Is this data available to share?
