Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Cool thanks!

I have a 1974/75 320 and I was wondering What kind of strings would have come on it if you bought it new? I have a set of Rickenbacker round wound 12s I got for it but what gauge would the originals have been? And would they have been flat wound in 1974?

Any advice on this replacement vib? The arm is either hanging really loose or its too tight to move. I can tighten it up so its stable but I can’t move it without completely losing it. I'v tried putting some other washers in but its still not prefect. I'v had an original Ric Accent vibrato in t...

I have this old Rickenbacker amp with no speakers. Can any one tell me about it, like what year its from? Is it worth fixing up? Any info would help thanks!

Yes I'll get that pic in the Register. Glad you guys like guitar. I did a video of it also. Its strung with flats and really plays great!

Thanks for the fast replies every one, I can always get good info on this site!

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I see it has 345-J in the body but isn't this a 330 FJ model? I'm sure the finish is original. You can see a shadow under the pick guard area, it has minor checking and it black lights as a 60's guitar should. Original frets and the pots all match to 66. Th...

So if 153 were shipped in the USA, is that the total made? And are all the orders completed or are there still some being made?
At some point Rickenbacker should know exactly how manny 1996's were made total. That would be a nice bit of info the have!

Thanks for that leftybass,

Theres one being sold on ebay now and part of the description has "Rickenbacker only made 200 of these guitars."

Now I know they had to be spacial ordered in 2006 but is it true there all made now and only 200 produced ? I'v never heard that before.

I love this thread and these guitars! Hears my 06 with an old RCA amp.

Thanks for the pictures dlandau, I really like the lighter finishes better then the dark ones. Hear are pics of mine, darker then I would prefer but still I'm just glad to have one! :D http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c163/johnnyaquanet/1996%20RM%20325/th_PICT0005.png http://i27.photobucket.com/alb...

back-1.png This is the back of my 2006 AFG and an original Ric from the 60s with a AFG. They look pretty close to me or am I just not getting it? I know the backs on the FG's can have more of a blend but if you have the dark ages of the AFG then it seems you have to have more contrast. Can some one...

Thanks dpowell,

The 330 is a 67, thats my fave. I also have a 450 made in 67 I love but I'm trying to sell it to help pay for the new 325.

Well I took it to Paul Wilczynski today and he set it up and it plays fine now!

Thanks again Paul for helping me out!
