Re: R tailpiece
Ah, I see. I guess it should be fine if I just wiped it with a cloth... The "smoothing of rough bits", I meant that there were some sharpish bits underneath (probably from wear) that I wanted to get filed down, but I was anxious about doing it myself and then accidentally slipping with a f...

R tailpiece
Greetings fellow members! The black R-tailpiece on my 330 could do with a proper cleaning and smoothing (of the rough bits), but I have no idea where I'd take it to have it done here down under. Any suggestions are appreciated :D Also, is it possible for it to be exchanged for a new black one in the...

Re: Help identifying year, 1978?
Have you checked the jackplate? The serial number, if it's on there, can be decoded at Rickenbacker's website.

Amber colour
Hi all,
When a guitar turns an amber colour over time, is it mostly the finish yellowing or the wood ageing?

Re: Upper pickguards
Wow, cool effect! Not sure how the effect looks on solid-color acrylic guards, though.

Upper pickguards
Hi everyone, What do you usually do with the upper pickguards on your guitars? I know a lot of players leave them on, but I've seen examples of Rics without the upper guard or screwed down onto the lower guard with the grommets on top, and with varying heights above the lower guard - . Might not be ...

Black truss rod covers
Hi to everyone, Out of curiosity, what would happen if someone were to send in a black truss rod cover for replacement? I've read about Rickenbacker's truss rod cover policy and apparently you can't swap for a different colour, but I haven't seen new Rics with black truss rod covers with white/grey ...

Re: Refinish
Thanks for the replies guys!
Refinishing isn't really my forte at this point; not enough experience. I know a good luthier in my area though.
I probably won't do it for now but maybe it's something to consider somewhere along the line... and yes, the guitar is the one in my profile photo.

Control layout modifications
Hi all, Who here has experimented with modifying the controls besides iiipope's tone mod (adding or taking controls away etc.)? I'm converting the controls of my 330 to a V/V/T setup to experiment with a more efficient control layout - I was curious as to what others have done, considering that most...
