Carl Autograph and 12 String Ric

[danmiller3]

Hello All,

I'm brand new to this site and am psyched to finally have a place to share my thoughts on a truly incredible band!   My parents introduced me to 'Endless Summer' at age 4 and for the past 23 years I've been faithfully listening and attending shows as they come around.

Recently I put together a large (4.5 feet long framed) collection of Beach Boys signed memorabilia but found out the autogrpahed Carl album I have is not authentic.  I was wondering if anyone might have something signed by Carl that they'd be willing to sell me.  I'm willing to pay a reasonable price.

In addition, I wondered if anyone around here might have the Carl Wilson Memorial Rickenbacker 360 12 string guitar that they no longer want to keep.  I've been scouring eBay and the internet in general but cannot find one available.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to participating in the future!

Hi Dan sorry you got ripped off. I am lucky enought to own an I Get Around PS that Carl signed and sent me as a gift. It's way to personal to sell but I am sure you will find something soon. If we see anything we will be sure to post the link on this thread. Welcome.

Google "Pet Sounds Newcastle UK", and the guy who owns the store has an album signed by [I think] Carl, Al and Brian.

I know that a guitar store somewhere in the Midwest still has a few 12-string Carl Wilson Rickenbackers. They're not cheap, but they're *new*. I had bookmarked the website but unfortunately my PC crashed not so long ago, and my bookmarks disappeared

Actually it wasn't the Midwest, but Las Vegas  But there seems to be a few CW 360/12 still available:

This seller says he has "several brand new unsold ones left in stock":

This shop has still got a new Carl Wilson Rick', but it's a 6-string:

And finally, this one has a Carl Wilson 360/12 in "excellent condition" for $2995:

This is really the guitar of my dreams. Someday...

Wow!  Thank you all for your help!  I'll certinaly pursue the 12 string leads, if you see any other signed Carl memorabilia please let me know.  Thanks again and have a great evening!

I imagine you could probably find listings for the CW Rickenbacker guitar in all sorts of music gear magazines, like Vintage Guitar.
