Have you checked the registry to see if any others are registered?

Uh...no.
Guess I should pretend to be a smart person and do that...[ahem]...why I didn’t think of that first...[insert drummer joke here]...

ETA - Well I’ll be dipped! There ARE a few more others in the register! Thank ya Scott!

Boxrbus, that’s fantastic!
I’ve seen a pic of 5 or 6 of them on a rack at the Rick factory.
I wonder if ours are in it.

Sam, how about posting a photo here?
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I had never heard of these models. I have to admit I am soooo mad I was not aware of them when they came out. The 330 body style with front and back binding plus the soundhole bound....that is my dream Rickenbacker in the looks department.

When were they released, what was the price point...and why, oh, why don't they release something like these again?

Ay carumba! Incredible set. The one in the middle really is a gem.

They were sold by Andy Babiuk's Fab Gear in September 2018 for a list price of $2,899.99.

The FireGlo guitar in your photo looks exactly like the 1993Plus model Rickenbacker is making now, which has the wider neck width.
Do your Fab Gear models have the wide or narrow neck widths?
Very nice collection either way!! :wink:

Yes.
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...
