A polishing cloth, a "Care and Maintenance Manual", a pair of case keys and (I believe) a small allen key for adjusting the bridge.

You can add a Rickenbacker catalog as well.

Don't forget those sugar packet like things that say "Do not eat" on them.

How well do those silica packets work? I've got them in all my cases, but do they really do that much?

Are you sure we shouldn't eat those? How many would you consider to be dangerous?

its funny if you ever have a pair of jeans with those in the pocket, and you wash them before wearing them, and you forget to take it out of the the pants...
you get a pocket full of clear jello.

If you buy a Ric in the UK, you also get a spares & accessories colour leaflet, a Rosetti (UK distributors) spares & accessories price list (which is a total joke...have you ever tried to order Ric parts over here) & last, but not least, we are lucky enough to get the poorest quality spares & accessories photocopied order form from Rosetti that you have ever seen (& they say 'please allow 28 days for delivery'...ha,ha,ha,ha,ha, sorry I've just fallen off my chair, surely that should read 28 years). The thing that gives them away though, is that at the top of the form, it says 'Gibson strings & accessories'. Ric isn't even mentioned.
It kind of sums up the attitude that Rosetti has towards Rickenbacker.

I was going to order the custom relic case. But I ordered mine with the newer case instead. Then I decieded to spring for the custom case and was told that the guitar would have to be reordered. So I kept with the newer standard one. I did'nt wanna wait not one day longer.

If you did eat the silicone dessicant that is found in guitar cases and didn't induce vomiting followed by medical attention, some serious irritation to your digestive tract may occur.
