I've come across this guitar on Ebay, and wanted to get some opinions of it before I bid. Is it really as rare as indicated? What do you think a reasonable value would be?

The 3 p/up models are certainly more "rare" than the two p/up models. Depending on condition, this model could sell in the 1800+ range. Alot more if there is a mini bidiing war.

Let's see what this one brings. In the meantime, seeing as it is in the public domain, here is one of the images posted on Ebay.

A similar guitar (1967 370) has been listed recently on ebay...except this one is LEFT HANDED and the condition is super...this has to be ultra-rare...it is also quite pricey.....

WOW. I have just found this site and have been trying to ID my own '66 Rick and I think I've found it's closest cousin to date with the above photo of the '67. Mine is virtually identical, but with 2 pickups. I always assumed my model was a 330, but it must be something different (370?) Mine has only 1 input -- no "Rickosound" or other hole. Mine also has pearl like dots on the fretboard, not the triangle like ones. I have a small crack at the top of the soundhole that extends and inch or so, but it does not go all of the way through, and the machines and 3 or 4 frets are not original. I paid $550.00 for it in 1985, and it seemed like a fair price. Never played all that well, but I love it to this day. $1800. seems outrageous to me, but if this is that rare, then maybe its' worthwhile. My other inquiries about my Rick are under appraisals.

PS: My serial # for my 66 Rick is FG 2520. I don't know if that would help anyone ID the exact model for me. Thanks.
