New here. My two Rickenbackers...
Bought a 660/12 in 2004 new. Great sounding & playing guitar. Used it on Thursday at a gig in St. Helena, CA outdoors in the city park. Took a pic of it hanging on the guitar rack as we were setting up.
Picked up this 350SH this week. It arrived today. Not a scratch on it. Like it's right out of the box. #55 of 250.

Is your 660 12 Burgundy? It is too early to be Ruby methinks...

Yes, it is the one from POTR, and yes, the 660/12 is burgundy. Bought it from The Rickenbacker Page 10 years ago.Ontario_RIC_fan wrote:Oh you got the one at Pick of the Ricks! Great score..

I've been playing with a British Invasion band lately (one of 3 bands I play in). I have a Gretsch 6122, and thought I'd go for a 325c64. I received it, but the neck was so small, I could barely play the thing. Sent it back and decided to splurge on a collector's item, which pretty much has the same look, the 350SH. Still not quite used to the 'Rick' sound, other than with a 12-string, but I'll figure it out.

Re: New here. My two Rickenbackers...
Both very cool guitars - again my congrats on an excellent purchase. I have lusted after a SH but they are well out of my price range. So I admire them from a distance.
I have a Burgundy 620 from the 2002 COY run... One of my favorite finishes now.
There can't be many 660 12s around like yours.

Re: New here. My two Rickenbackers...
Hi and welcome, I'm new here myself.
Congrats on the SH, I'd like one of those in my
collection.
I've noticed the fretboard inlays look a bit gold or
yellow on the SH.
Does anyone know if that's the original color, or
is it due to age?
