Re: new RIC horseshoe vs. 4003s bridge sound?

Is there any difference between the two? I am awaiting arrival of a new 4003s matte black. I ordered a toaster and am wondering if I should get a horsehoe from the Boutique when available again. Are there other bridge pups out there worthy of switching out? I see a local shop, Lollar, makes one, bu...

Re: 1993Plus!!!

How about a conversion to a 6-string ?
New nut, new bridge (?), truss rod adjust.....is that all what one needs?

Re: Bent over a barrel in England??

noticed that on eBay and on-line stores that the prices of Rickenbacker's in England are unbelievably high compared to their American counterparts, like almost double in some cases?? What is the reasoning behind this?? The exchange rate is a major burn to start with. I always am grumpy when dealing...

'guitarguitar' of the UK and duty question

Is there duty I have to pay on a Walnutburst 330 shipped from the UK to the US ?
Has anyone had experience dealing in the US with "The UK's Largest Guitar Store."

Re: 330S in Tobaccoglo 2012 - Limited Run

I recently acquired my 330S from Wildwood, and the neck is amazing......it fits me perfectly and its fretboard woodgrain is stunning. How is its X bracing different from my 330 BBR?
