Sorry about the double post. I wanted to add this one. It really shows the nice curves of the body and the binding.  | ||

Gah, this thread is permeated with brilliance. I don't believe I've ever seen so many nice guitars in one place. For the record, the old 360 (I guess the 360v64) has to be one of the most attractive Rics around. The double-binding really completes the look. ...and with that, Peter, that is one jealousy-inspiring guitar you have there. | ||

Thanks Jeff. There are indeed some nice photos here. Nice curves Patrick. Howard, wait those Mach 3 blades are worth a fortune.  | ||

Peter, was your 1993 SPC a special order? The only other one I have seen with the "shark fins" is the Marty Wilson Piper. What the history on these? | ||

Peter's guitar, if I remember rightly, is a one off that was done by Rickenbacker especially for him. I believe John Hall said that it was the kind of favour he was happy to do for a friend. A very nice gesture, if I do say so myself. At some point, Peter came up with a model designation for it. Can't remember what on earth it was, though. | ||

David, if I'm not mistaken, Nick Thiel (the owner of Voxtalks) purchased Marty Willson-Piper's beautiful, one-off Ric. I sometimes regret NOT picking it up when it was offered to me. Of course, my 1997SPC/VB suits me fine. Cheers, Noel | ||

Noel, didn't you have a beautiful 340 MG with gold guards, oven knobs, vibrato, and toasters for sale recently? That was a beautiful guitar, too. If you've still got a photo, it would easily be worthy of a place in this thread. | ||

I guess I'll air out the final photo of my MB 381, since a few haven't seen it yet. It is finished, with its final pickguard configuration and the staked Vib-Rola. Hope I'm not stepping on the thread here.  | ||

Step right up Paul. That is truly beautiful. Love the nameplate and the Montezuma Brown finish. The oven knobs and the fifth knob are a great addition. |
