John William's Comments
Here is a pic of my 1964 365. It is believed to be either a prototype,
sample or one of the first "new style" 360's. Notice the angle of the lower
bout. The squared heel of the neck and headstock indicates a 1963. Weird. The
serial number is DD 467. According to R. Smith's Rickenbacker book, the 1st
new style 360 was shipped on June 1st of 1964. This serial number, however, indicates an April, 1964 date.
