Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Caught The Church last night in Pa. GREAT show!!!!!!

(Just in case someone here doesn't know them...they're from Australia--did "Under The Milky Way")

Need help identifying a Ric. guitar that Ian Haug played---He's replaced Marty Wilson-Piper

Guitar body was Les Paul shaped, only wider(NOT thicker). Single cutaway
Full Width Inlays
Dual Toaster pups
Trapeze style tailpiece
Twelve strings
Looked to be "GreenGlo"
Appeared to have Gibson style Truss Rod Cover, AND, Ric. TRC (probably wrong about that but that's how it appeared)

Can anyone figure out what this is???

Thx

Made by Piers Crocker, not a Rickenbacker.

This?

The closest to the description would be a 660/12 but I would not really call it LP shaped, just in the general ball park and you are looking at one from 1000 paces, and you need to wear glasses and lost them. That color was never offered on one so perhaps a refin or a (obviously) modded one (or faker) from what you say about it.

Godber---YES!!!! That is the one. Thank You.
Can you provide some info. on the guitar and it's builder??? If it is a knockoff, then don't worry about it.

Mr. Scott---I was sitting less than 1000 paces when seeing this guitar. No, I did not have my glasses though
It DID look GreenGlo in the light. I know GreenGlo was never offered.
Thanks to Godber's pic., I see that the body resembles a Gretch---more so than a Les Paul.
(I used the Les Paul as a guide to describe the shape)

I forgot to add additional details within my original post.

Whatever it was...it sure sounded good!!!!!

Piers Crocker is a Sydney-based luthier/repairer with a deep knowledge of Rickenbackers. His business FB page, with lots of pics, is here.

Very interesting, a Gretsch body with a Rick-like neck and a Gretsch "Falcon" style headstock.

What Gretsch body? Seems to be a 360F body... or a copy of one, that is.

Oops, typo; I meant to say 360F style body and neck with a Gretsch "Falcon" style headstock.

The whole time I was looking at Ian playing it...I was thinking "I've seen that style before".
I didn't know it was a 360F model. It really looked familiar though.

What does the "F" signify???

Thank you guys for clearing this up for me.

Fantastic.

Didnt the Cardigans use a Crockenbacker too?

Yes, but that was more a Rick neck plus hardware with a godawful body
