Hey folks..i'ts been a while since i posted.. My 325 fireglo is coming together..I still need to purchase pick/ups though...I've been able to get most of the parts from online and once the pick-ups are in, I will just need to find someone to do the assembly...I am having a hard time finding someone ...

It is tempting to get high gains..they may not sound as authentic as toasters, but im assuming they will sound pretty good for what i like to play...also, the idea of fixing this guitar is to play it soon, not to restore it to spec so i can sell it.....hmmm hmmm...decisions

For some reason I can't figure out how to upload pics from my computer to the forum...?

In the meantime, I'm blogging about the restoration with pics on my blog..

I've begun purchasing some stuff for this beast. I found some vintage knobs, I'm looking at the electronics next....I've been looking for a template for the pickgaurd, and I can't seem to find one that fits..rickenbacker doesn't make them, and they didn't seem too helpful with the specs either! I co...

Thanks for all the help..this is gonna be a fun project. The serial is DG916....july 1964...

Question: is it possible to get this thing officially appraised even though its not complete?

This is my first post here! Im hoping to connect with some folks who can help me put all the peices together in restoring this awesome vintage guitar. I was given this guitar recently, and it has been living in a spooky basement in a garbage bag for some number of years. The serial no. puts it at be...
