Just spotted this on eBay:

What the heck is a "320-330 Combo"? Image

David, it's a Model 350, most of the ebay details are wrong, the following details are from from rickbeat.com, originally written by Peter: Model 350, a full-size version of the modern model 320. Introduced in 1985, this guitar has the same body, pickups, and electronics as its 3/4 scale little brother. When the 350 first entered the line as a standard model, it was referred to as the "Liverpool" guitar.  This Model had 24 frets, an R tailpiece and other standard appointments. This model was later moved to the vintage series and dropped from the standard line. At this time the guitar became known as the 350V63 Liverpool.

That's what I figured. I guess it's a 3(20 + 30).... The starting bid seemed to be way out of line as well - or is this really a 'rare color' for a 350? The 'configuration' would seem to be completely standard for the model.

$1875.00??? Ouch!

OK... a white finish is a little rare, but $1875 seems a little steep. I picked up one of these in Mapleglo for $825 at VoxFest 5. Mine was a "kept-under-the-bed" special -- no nicks, scratches, or anything... and certainly not in need of a re-fret!

I think you could find a better deal elsewhere...

Jeez, EVERY Rickenbacker put on ebay that is just the slightest bit unusual is now a "custom made" job... Yeah, right!!!

I e-mailed the seller with some links and info, but haven't heard back. As of this writing, the ad is still there, with its $1875 starting price and "Reserve Not Met"!

I guess all those 'enlargement' spam e-mails have caused inflation everywhere...
