I understand this store operated in the 60s and has long since gone. I guess this makes my Export model a certified "Aussie Issue Rickenbacker" and not an import export from the UK!   Sean Wilson (Bluesyric) Junior Member Username: Bluesyric Post Number: 28 Registered: 03-2005 Posted From: 64.45.232.82 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 - 11:08 am:    Wow, Darren.

What model guitars are they from? I am dreaming of a headstock like that in Blueburst! How does one go about ordering a special one like that? The FG one with the gold hardware is spectacular--the white nut tells me it must be an acoustic....   Graham Griffiths (8mileshigh) Senior Member Username: 8mileshigh Post Number: 392 Registered: 11-2003 Posted From: 62.164.179.176 Posted on Friday, July 29, 2005 - 07:36 am:    Melissa - the mapleglo is a model 6006 banjoline from 1968 and the fireglo is the 760J - which I sadly don't own. And I wish I knew how to order checkered headstocks. I would love to have them on all of my Ricks. It just looks fantastic! Perhaps JH could offer it as an option - I know I'd pay extra.
