Hardy Stoertz´s Rickenbacker^® collection

Rickenbacker 336/12 (This guitar had a cracked neck but is now repaired.)

The present owner has corresponded with RIC a number of times to have this confirmed. However, there is a problem that is described in the photos below but RIC have obviously found the records:

Letter from RIC (After speaking to the present owner, John Hall, he says that there was no fire like the one mentioned in the letter. Maybe Mr Ogle just didn't have access to all information.

Not listed in Smith's book.
