Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Did Rickenbacker ever have a standard procedure when they, like some other companies, may have marked the date of manufacture inside the cavity in additon to elsewhere?

Peter, not that I know of. Arnquist may have other info, as well as John Hall. But I'd bet if you ever Do find a corresponding serial # inside, it was done by the owner in an attempt to be tricky and thwart a theif who might steal the guitar and remove the jackplate.

as to "Thwarting a THIEF"

that is the only time I've seen an extra serial number.

To my knowledge there has never been a 2nd official location for a serial number
