| I knew someone would come through with the full story, and no one more informed on this subject than MLA. Thanks |

CW was the original model, available in short and long scales. When Jerry Byrd signed on as a Rickenbacker endorser the short scale CW became the JB model. The CW continued as the long scale version. Other than scale they are identical. Both were offered as six, eight, or ten string models. There are some JB seven string models out there but they are not on price lists so they were probably custom ordered by dealers for Byrd-fetishist customers.

Recently there have also been two 8 string JBs for sale on EBay.
I owned a JB 6 string about 15 years ago. I didn't care for the tone as much as other Ricks. It sure was pretty.
