Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi!

Here is a photo of very nice but odd Rickenbacker guitar. I'm not sure what to call it! Any ideas? 370SPC?


Whatever model it is I still think it's very rare!
This guitar was specially made for Marty Willson-Piper of the The Church. He also had a 12-string guitar.
I think it was a Model 1993, and this custom made 6-string.

Take care

Hi Bjorn

Thats a great pic (even if it was myself that took it!).........I will be very interested to see if it has a model number........

I have also emailed the pic to a fellow forumite (and church fan),... maybe he will come up with something.

Hi again!

Thanks Andrew!

The link I gave you doesn't work. I made something wrong. I am sorry.

This has been quite circuitous!
That is definitely a gorgeous Rickie. A friend of mine in Aussieland has offered to contact Marty Willson-Piper for any specific details he might have. Yes, the more I see it, the more I covet it. I've said many times that my 1997 is the guitar I reach for before any others. It IS the Rickenbacker sound. Andrew, I've emailed you.

Is there an Ac'cent vibrato in the case per chance?

Cheers, Noel

Is this the same guitar?

Bjorn: Perhaps a Model 1998 SPC? A beautiful photo of an exquisite guitar.

Hi Noel

Got your email OK, but couldn't email you pics to your hotmail addy.......

How 'bout a 370V64 w/fhole.......
