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...

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. In all, I have heard there are maybe three of these in the public eye, inc...

I love it. Great job Rickenbacker.

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...

This is great! Kudos to RIC.

I love how the 1996 is mid-'60s spec, too.

Yep, 10mm to 1/4" conversion bushings are what you need.

Most people prefer Gotoh to the new Klusons:

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!

Love to see an OG Rick get some love. Looks great.

Although...am I the only one who likes that brown stain color it was before?

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.

Fake.

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.

This one from Winfield will drop right on to your existing bracket, if you decide to go that route:

Well, if we're counting projects...

Inspired by a thread on another forum. Theres an 11 year old thread on RRF asking the same but I thought I'd update it. How many guitars (Rickenbacker and non) do you own?
