Hi Everyone
This is my first time here
I have always been a Rickenbacker fan. Could someone help me determine what the correct model names are for my guitars?
Welcome Silver. A very nice collection of Rickenbackers!
Guitar 1 is from October 2000
This is a Fireglo (FG) 1996 likely from 2006 (As far as I know RIC did not make this model in 2000 - but one learns never to say never. lol. It would have shipped with an accent vibrato on it originally. Someone has put a Bigsby vibrato on yours)
Here are pictures of other 2006 1996 guitars like yours to look at.

This guitar is a 620 in Fireglo.
Here are some pictures of other 1992 620 guitars to look at.
http://www.rickresource.com/register/ga ... 92&month=0Guitar 3 is from August 1989
This is a Jetglo (ie black in RIC speak) model 350 "Liverpool"
Here are some other 1989 350 Liverpools to look at
http://www.rickresource.com/register/ga ... 89&month=0Guitar 4 is from September 2002
This is a Fireglo 381v69. Ric makes these both as 6 strings (like yours) and as 12 strings. More from 2002 to look at here.
http://www.rickresource.com/register/ga ... 02&month=0Guitar 5 is from June 1992
This is a FG (Fireglo) 360/12 v64. (RIC has not made these since about 2001 - they now do the c63 series which is constructed differently)
Here are more images of 1992 v64 instruments
http://www.rickresource.com/register/ga ... 92&month=0Bass is from 1989 i think.
This is a FG 4003 bass. It is not a "4003 S" bass (which has dot inlays and no binding)
Here are some 4003 from 1990.

http://www.rickresource.com/register/ga ... 89&month=0Hope this helps you to learn about your collection.
Cheers!
