[edit] Accuracy Issues

I deleted an erroneous claim (well, maybe that's too harsh) that the guitar featured a rectangular tailpiece for a number of years. This is simply not true; since its first production in 1963 (as prototypes), very few instruments were produced with the rect. tailpiece, which was changed at the same time as other models' tailpieces.

The inlay material known by many as "Crushed Pearl" (in reality, mother of pearl flakes in epoxy ) has not been used since 1973 at the latest. The current inlays are a poured synthetic pearloid sort of thing, and the information has been updated to include this. As with other RIC models, the neck is a laminate of maple and WALNUT, not mahogany.
