Sid's Rick in Rock and Roll Swindle..

[Freddy Le Cragg]

Is it stock or modded? or a Jap Crap copy?

Best grab I could get (from the audition scene)

Probably "inherited" it from Glen Matlock, who was allegedly inspired to get a Rick because he was a big fan of Paul McCartney.

MB1.
Looks like a MDP job on the front pickup!

It seems to have two slanted pups, but says Rickenbacker on it. There is a brief scene of Steve playing it...

And Paul Cook, doing a great Chuck Berry impression.

Looks like Pete Agnew's Rick from Nazareth. Roger Glover had one with the same mods but his was black.
Don't get me started on the shirt...

[Freddy Le Cragg]

Yeah...the shirt is unfortunate...

Couple of other pics:



Don't think it's a copy, looks like it has full width inlays & wavy Grover tuners, which would make it '73 or earlier, and modded with 2x slanty J pups. "BurgundyGlo" finish?

Jon.

Wonder what became of it...

[Lozz196]

He certainly looked the part - though could get rid of the swastika, me not keen on those. Interesting how in the film Sid & Nancy they changed that to a hammer & sickle.

I wonder if Pete inherited it from Roger, who produced a few of Nazareth's albums around 1974:

I've only ever seen pictures of Roger playing the Jetglo one too. Looking at the battle damage on the one Sid's playing, it matches the one modified by Dawk and as used by Pete.

Roger also had the black one rebuilt:
