Hello,
I've had a few rickenbackers over the years, but figured it was time to join this forum as I become the proud owner of a 1977 Azureglo Double Neck! Its a stunning guitar and in amazing shape:
The neck pickups aren't functioning, which suggests to me a high likelihood of a re-solder job. Before I open this beast, just wondering if there is anyone out there who may have a wiring schematic for a 362/12 double neck. In addition to checking the integrity of the soldered pot connections, I want to ensure its originality. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

I don't have a schematic, but I made a little video for you. Hope this helps.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I would think that the wiring would be the same as for a 4080 (two pickups x 2, 5 control pots, 1 three-way switch, 1 two-way switch). I made a CRUDE drawing for someone a while ago of the wiring on my 4080:
Here are some pictures from the back of the pickguard:
Hopefully these will be of some help for you.

Wow, cool guitar! The very first Rickenbacker I ever saw for sale, was exactly like this guitar. A double neck semi hollow 362/12 in the same color Azureglo, was hanging in Parker Music in Houston, TX circa 1981-82.

Azureglo is definitely less sighted and very cool. Welcome to Club 362!
If it’s the neck pickups on both necks, I bet it’s the Rick O Sound jack at fault. Caig DeOxit is your friend, spray both jacks real good and try again.
