Here is a photo of two of my favourite Rickenbackers, a 1993 Model 350 with a few modifications and a 2003 Model 1993SPC.

Hang on a minute while I wipe up the dribble. Nice background too, Peter!

Peter...superb!! But I got to ask, why did you decide to do the split guard on the 350? Or where did you get the idea?

Stan: I decided to split the guard on my 350 after seeing a photo in Smith's book. I thought it would give an older look along with the trapeze tailpiece.

I wish I still had my 350 but sold it a couple of years ago. It was pristine...and yours does hark an older era.

Gone but not forgotten

A nice one Stan. I see a 350 in your future.

I agree Stan. I sold my burgundy 350v63 & regretted it like crazy, but have just found a fireglo one (my fifth FG) & bought it, so I'm happy again....

Peter, maybe there's a 360F in your future to do the split guard to! Wouldn't that be grand?

Right you are Jeffrey. I suspect it may be several grand.
