I cannot edit the original topic now so here's the word on Ricky's guitars:
Mosrites:
1966-67 Ventures MK V, Blue: Tuned to CFxxFF for Dance This Mess Around, Rock Lobster and Runnin' Around.
1965-68 Ventures II or MK V, Sunburst: So far as I know he only played this for Strobe Light and it seems he had lighter strings on this one.
1960s Joe Maphis Dual Neck, Sunburst: Used for multiple songs including Party Out of Bounds and Quiche Lorraine.
1975 MK I, Sunburst: Tuned to DADxBB frequently and played for many songs. Played for Party Out of Bounds in the Dortmund 1983 concert though which has a different tuning.
Other guitars:
1960s Silvertone 1448 - Supposed to be the guitar played for the album version of Private Idaho.
1970s Epiphone Crestwood - Played for 6060-842, sometimes played for Planet Claire and used as a secondary guitar.
Telecaster - Seen in a low-quality live video from January 1978 and (if it's the same guitar,) a mime performance of "Give Me Back My Man."
Veillette Citron Shark (Baritone) in White - Seen in the Legal Tender music video clearly around 1:40.
Guitars I'm not sure Ricky owned:
1970s Gibson L6S (Seen in one miming video of Rock Lobster)
Epiphone Coronet (Played in the Rio 1985 concert)
Hofner Bass Guitar, Red
Rickenbacker 480 (I've only seen one video of him playing with this guitar on German TV)
Stratocasters (I've seen some footage of him playing at least one;)
There was also rumor of a white Mosrite guitar at Cindy's but I haven't confirmed it.
Furthermore, there's this photo I can't make out. I have no idea what the guitar is; some Gibson, Epiphone or off-brand guitar?
