A word about pricing
This is my personal guitar collection. As a hobby, I love to buy and sell guitars. Most of the guitars that I truly want to sell go on ebay. Most of these guitars, I don't really want to sell and that's the reason for the sometimes ( OK, most of the time ) unrealistic, astronomical pricing. I am well aware that the prices are very high, however.........give it a few years and they wont be!!!! If you are really interested in one of these guitars, give me a call and let's talk about it. You never know what kind of mood I might be in.

Fender 57 limited edition amp
$2495
Limited to 300 amps, this Fender 57 is 12 watts of rock and roll royalty. Using only the best technicians in the Fender Custom Shop it took nearly 2 years to come up with this design. It is amazingly beautiful and it sounds tremendous. Black piano lacquer finish with a Celestion blue alnico speaker.....it absolutely screams. Comes with a leather portfolio with COA and other goodies and a padded cover. Rarer than rare......all but impossible to find this would be th cornerstone of any amp collection. There are a few marks on this one but hard to find and very unobtrusive.
Fender American Standard Stratocaster Limited edition
$1200
2009 Fender American Standard Stratocaster limited edition with matching painted headstock. Only 500 of these were made....there were 3 color choices and this was by far the coolest.......surf green.......I mean........the color just screams Strat....add the matching painted headstock and it's almost nirvana!!!
This is an as new example with original Fender TSA case. These will get harder and harder to find.

Fender Masterbuilt Surf Stratocaster
$5995
From the Fender custom shop comes this Masterbuilt Surf Stratocaster by master builder Dennis Galuzska. Dennis has built a very few of these Strats partially made from real surfboards and no 2 are alike making each instrument a one of a kind. A spectacular instrument with attention to detail unlike no other instrument Fender produces. These Masterbuilt instruments are hand made by the cream of the crop of Fender luthiers.
Fender Stratocaster Ford Shelby GT limited edition
$2995
Fender made one of these Shelby GT Stratocasters to auction off with the first production Shelby GT Mustang at the 2007 Barrett-Jackson auction. That Mustang/Stratocaster went for $600K. Everyone kept asking where they could get one of the guitars so Fender set up a limited edition production run of 200 instruments. Most went to Ford and industry bigwigs but a few were sold by some of Ford's largest and most respected dealerships. That's where this one came from. Absolutely mint, unplayed condition.....the ultimate cars and guitars collectible. Even the case is amazingly cool.
Fender Stratocaster SoCal speed shop limited edition
$1000
What a cool guitar!! Extremely limited edition Fender Stratocaster issued based on the popular TV show SoCal speed shop. Incredible paint job of red and white which comes to an apex on the fret board. One humbucker pickup. A great guitar and a rare, desirable collectible.

Amazing 10th anniversary Reverend Jetstream HB in silver sparkle. Just a few of these were produced to celebrate Reverend's 10th anniversary. The silver sparkle finish is only found on these. This guitar is basically a new guitar.....the trem on this guitar is the best I've ever played.
Rickenbacker 1998 Montezuma Brown
$6995
Reissue of the Rose Morris model 1998 with a true "f" hole and 3 vintage toaster pickups. This is the only Montezuma Brown model 1998 in existence obviously making this an extremely rare guitar. Another one of a kind. Made in 2009, this is a brand new guitar.
Rickenbacker 1998 PT
$5500
One of the rarest limited edition artist signature models, this 1987 manufactured Pete Townsend model 1998 is immaculate and beautiful.

Rickenbacker 320 Prototype
$4995

Very rare tobacco sunburst finish with 3 high gain pickups and checkerboard binding on the front. Only 1 exists. Near mint condition.
Rickenbacker 325C64 Burgundglo
$5950
Another one of a kind direct from Rickenbacker this short scale model 325C64 is similar to the guitar John Lennon played. No other 325s have ever been painted this beautiful Burgundyglo which is a transparent finish so that the wood grain shows through. Absolutely stunning and obviously as rare as it gets.
Rickenbacker 330 BBR
$2500
Color of the Year (COY) Rickenbacker 330 Blueburst. Mint condition will all original paperwork and hard shell case. A beautiful instrument.
Rickenbacker 330 Blueburst (Purpleblueburst)
$2700
Stunning color of the year COY Blueburst (BBR). In the 27th week of 2006 Rickenbacker sprayed 8 guitars, all 330s or 340s, in a kind of purplish tint to the regular Bluebursts. There are only 8 of these in existence and they are quite collectible........kinda like those stamps printed upside down years ago that were worth a gazillion dollars. Rickenbacker corrected the error and freely admits the "mistake" and here is a link:
http://www.rickenbacker.com/forum_view_ ... 591&Page=1
I've also included a picture of a side to side with a regular Blueburst. This guitar is mint with all the original paperwork and hard case.
Rickenbacker 330 DCM

$2250.00
Rare color of the year Rickenbacker 330 in Desert Gold. You dont see many of these.....a very striking color combination on a wonderful guitar.
Rickenbacker 330 Trans Blue
$2700
One of a kind.....this is the only one!! It's called Trans Blue and it is gorgeous. You'll be the only one on your block, or your street, or your town, or your state, or your country, or your planet to have one.
Rickenbacker 330 Yellow
$1895
1984 Rickenbacker 330. I thought at first this guitar was white and had yellowed over the years but it is absolutely a yellow guitar. Rickenbacker did have a color back in the 80s which they called Harngelb Yellow and it was only for the German market. Whether this is one of them or not I dont know.....if it is, it's one of the rarest Rics in my collection. This guitar has a few nicks here and there but basically it's in great condition. Original hard case as well.
Rickenbacker 330/12 Amber Mapleglo
$1995
This is a new guitar......never played. Rickenbacker experimented with making an amber mapleglo finish for a color of the year.........kind of like what happens to maple over the course of 20-30 years......it darkens and gets a beautiful deep glow to it. Well, it didn't work real well so that makes this guitar a pretty rare collectible. Pretty cool!!!!
Rickenbacker 340 VP Montezuma Brown
$2250
2006 Rickenbacker model 340 VP. 3 pickup model no longer in production. Color of the year Montezuma Brown. Just a beautiful guitar. Accent vibrato, gold pick guard and TRC and vintage knobs make this a rare, wonderful instrument that would be extremely difficult to find anywhere else.
Rickenbacker 340 VP VB BlueBoy
$3500
Exceedingly rare color of the year Blue Boy on an even rarer model 340 (which they no longer make ) with not only the Vintage Pickup option ( which they no longer offer ) but also the ViBrato option ( which they no longer offer ). I dont know HOW I found this!!!!
Rickenbacker 350v63 Purpleburst
$6500.00
Here's another one that's really not for sale but again, I could be convinced. Truly a one of a kind with a letter stating such from Rickenbacker. The purpleburst has a metallic tinge to it that makes it just awesome.....you've got to see this finish in person. A rare, unique, very special guitar.
Rickenbacker 350v63 White
$3500
It is extremely difficult to find a white Rickenbacker that is truly white. Most of the time the finish develops a yellowish tinge to it. Add the fact that there simply were not many 350v63s made in white and here we have an incredibly rare and collectible instrument. I do not know of another one like it anywhere. This one is mint with the original silver case. Just gorgeous!!!
Rickenbacker 360 DCM 75th anniversary
$3500
Another 75th anniversary Rick, this one a 360. Mint condition.....1 of 75 made.

Rickenbacker 360 SPC Amber Montezuma Brown
$7500
This was the first "one of a kind" guitar I bought direct from Rickenbacker and it's still my favorite. This is just a stunningly beautiful guitar. The experimental finish of amber montezuma brown with the black hardware makes a striking instrument indeed. The price reflects my desire to sell it.
Rickenbacker 360 VP VB Burgundyglo
$2850
Delicious color of the year Burgundyglo in the ultra rare combination of vintage toaster pickups and Accent vibrato. I doubt you'll find another.
Rickenbacker 360 VP VB Montezuma Brown
$2995
Another gorgeous color of the year.....my favorite.....Montezuma Brown. This is a factory VP VB 360 meaning vintage toaster pickups and Ac'cent vibrato. Mint condition. Now dressed up with the gold pick guard and TRC.......that's what I'm talkin about!!
Rickenbacker 360 Walnut
$3295
Ultra rare 1984 Rickenbacker in a Walnut finish. Spectacular coloring on this vintage Rick. The guitar is in near mint condition with just a small scuff on the top of the headstock. Original hardshell case included. A magnificent, unique, rare collectible guitar.
Rickenbacker 360/12 Autumnglo
$3500
Seriously rare Rickenbacker 360 12 string in Autumnglo. I've been collecting Rickenbackers for several years and this is the 2nd Autumnglo Rick I've seen. And....the best thing about this guitar is it is in near mint condition. Made in 1986 it is one of the cleanest 23 year old guitars I've ever seen. A magnificent piece!!
Rickenbacker 360/12 VP Amber Fireglo
$2995
Color of the year Amber Fireglo with gold pickguard and TRC make this 360 12 string Ric an awesome guitar especially with the vintage toaster pickups. Rickenbacker really got it right with this color.......it is a stunning guitar. This one is in as new condition with original case and all the goodies.
Rickenbacker 360/12 VP Montezuma Brown
$2995
Probably the most popular color of the year and in my opinion the classiest looking Rickenbacker.....this 360 12 string in Montezuma Brown with vintage toaster pickups and gold pick guard and TRC is a beautiful instrument. Near mint condition with original case....these Monte Brown Rics are hard to find.....once someone gets their hands on one, they don't want to let it go.
Rickenbacker 360/12c63 Fireglo
$3500
Accurate recreation of George Harrison's '63 Rickenbacker 12 string. I got this guitar direct from the Rickenbacker factory. It is brand new and has never been played. The quintessential Rick 12 string guitar.....magnificent!!!!
Rickenbacker 360/12c63 SPC
$7500
One of a kind Rickenbacker with experimental finish. Black/Blue/Fireglo....it changes colors with each change of light or angle. Simply gorgeous, obviously very rare and unique.

Rickenbacker 360/12v64 Fireglo
$2995
Rickenbacker 360/12v64 in stunning Fireglo. No longer in production these are vintage recreations of George Harrison's 12 string. Limited production makes these highly desirable and collectible.
Rickenbacker 360/12v64 Mapleglo
$2995
Stunning example of the double bound Rickenbacker 360/12v64 12 string in mapleglo. Rickenbacker, in my opinion, makes the most outstanding natural wood finish guitar in the industry with their mapleglo. This is a reissue of the 1964 version that George Harrison played ( his was fireglo ). They didn't make many of these in mapleglo making this a pretty rare guitar.....few and far between. This one is mint.
Rickenbacker 360v64 Midnight Blue

Rickenbacker 370/12 SPC Jetglo w/ Tonewerks compressor
$2995
When Rickenbacker produced an artist signature guitar like the Roger McGuinn 370/12, they would always make about a half dozen extra "shells" to be used in case of warranty issues or shipping damage, etc. Once the warranty period expired they would complete the shells without the signature pickguard or any other distinguishing features for that model. They would label these SPC (special). The SPCs are rare instruments in their own right and highly collectible. This guitar is one of those that were made for the Roger McGuinn series 370/12 RM. Some call these "overruns" but that's kind of a misnomer. This guitar is near mint and wonderful. You really get to own a McGuinn at a fraction of the price. This guitar now has been wired to include a built in compressor just like the McGuinn models. the wiring was performed by Tonewerks and it is fantastic!!!!
Rickenbacker 370/12 VP Mapleglo
$2700
Very similar to the guitar Roger McGuinn made famous.....the no longer in production model 370 features 3 vintage toaster pickups and a vintage silver case. Some would call this the quintessential Rickenbacker. Probably the finest 12 string electric guitar on the planet.
Rickenbacker 370/12 VP White
$3495
Try to find another one like this. An ultra rare Rickenbacker 370 12 string with vintage toaster pickups.....and this white has stayed WHITE. It's very unusual for the white finish on these Rickenbackers to not yellow at least a little bit. This one has stayed as white as the day it was made. All the black trim and hardware have been changed to chrome/white making a very stunning statement. This is a wonderful....very rare....very collectible guitar.
Rickenbacker 380L Laguna PZ
NFS
Rickenbacker 380L Laguna with the piezo option.....absolutely amazing.....this guitar can sound exactly like an acoustic guitar when the piezo option is used. Beautiful walnut with gold hardware. I've had a few of these and this one, I want to keep!!

Rickenbacker 650C BlueBurst
$1595

$7500
One of a kind experimental finish direct from Rickenbacker. This 660 12 string has the most amazing finish going from a beautiful blue around the outer edges to a shimmering green in the middle.

Breathtaking!!!!

This is a rare bird indeed. Only 250 of the signature Suzanna Hoffs model 350 were made.....they came with a signed pickguard and a certificate and are one of the rarer Rickenbackers ever made. Rickenbacker used to produce a few extra guitars when they made artist signature models to be used for warranty issues and such. When the warranty period expired, Rickenbacker put a few of these together without the pickguard and the cert.......they really are rarer than the artist model. The warranty card reads: 350SH.

It's certainly a rare find and very collectible instrument. Check out the gold pickguard and TRC which complement the Amber Fireglo amazingly. Also this guitar has the hard to find Accent vibrato.

$2500 sold
Exceedingly rare early '90s Rickenbacker 360 12 string in white.

Came from the factory with black trim but for a bit of fun, I may change that. Stay tuned. Comes with desirable silver vintage case.

zRickenbacker 366/12 WBBS Autumnglo
traded
Ridiculously rare 1966 Rickenbacker 366/12 WBBS convertible guitar. The label which came from inside the cavity specifies the color as autumnglo.....looks very much like fireglo to me. WBBS stands for "with binding both sides". They made a very few ( estimates range from 3 to 5 ) of these convertibles.....the chrome comb engages the 6 octave strings and moves them out of the way so that this guitar can be played as a 6 string or a 12 string. There is a small bare spot on the back and a little bit of play wear but for a guitar of this vintage it is in remarkable condition. Ever seen another one???
zRickenbacker 370/12 RM

Paul now builds each acoustic by hand using specs and wood supplied by Rickenbacker and he does a simply amazing job. This 730 is in Amber Fireglo and is magnificent. It absolutely booms when you play it and it is very hard to take your eyes off it.
