Re: Question about this combo 450(?) my grandfather bought
These "extreme cutaway" Combo models represent something of a "missing link" in the evolution that culminated in the Capri series. It's easy to see how these models led into the 325 series of hollow-bodied guitars (starting with the Polynesian, which is a hybrid of the two styles...

Re: Question about this combo 450(?) my grandfather bought
Just some perspectives... This is an incredibly cool guitar and a rare find. In all my years of Rickenbackering, I'd never even seen one of these until roughly last year, when another one ended up in the hands of a collector.

270 DegreeGuitar Pots
Hey guys, I have an awesome set of Strat knobs that are designed for 270-degree potentiometers (3/4 full turn). Even though most guides say otherwise, it seems that almost all pots these days are built with a 300-degree rotation, which lands in a blank spot on my guitar knobs when they're zeroed out...

Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
This is great! Kudos to RIC.
I love how the 1996 is mid-'60s spec, too.

Re: Tuner conversion - will these bushings work?
Yep, 10mm to 1/4" conversion bushings are what you need.

Re: 325c58 Conversion to '58 Spec
Not my best playing (and I'm still getting the hang of bending on a 325), but here's a clip for you guys:
Again, thanks to everyone who helped me with this project. The guitar plays great!

Re: Buzz n' Rattle
Could definitely be the truss rod nuts. Check that they're snug and not loose on the threads.
Other places to check: Switch ring, jack nut, and bridge posts.

Another option is to build one to your spec. There are a lot of companies that cater to just that kind of thing.
Had a great time building my dream Strat and now it's my go-to guitar.
