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...

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...

Schaller M6 minis.

Have you checked the jackplate? The serial number, if it's on there, can be decoded at Rickenbacker's website.

Hi all,

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

Hm, interesting modifications! I was actually thinking about adding a middle pickup to my 330 at some point...

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.

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...
