Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thank you, Jeffrey!

I can't access the company's website forums for days now. I get an sql error or some such computer gobbledygook. Anybody know anything?

I'll bring my wife and two daughters, then. With six female eyes it's got to be a sure thing! Seriously, though, this is all great advice. I'm feeling confident.

Thank you.

Thanks, gents. Can you recommend a brand or generic type of polish? Did you do any post application finishing, such as sanding and buffing, or was a careful application of the polish all you did?

Bumped the headstock of my Midnight Blue 4003 and put a small chip in it. It's circular, about 1/8" diameter, and all the way through the finish, exposing the wood beneath. Any advice on how to repair would be very welcome. Thank you.

Thank you, aceonbass.

Perhaps when I get home from work tonight. Thanks.

You use a nut file for the saddles? Is there a difference? And as far as I can tell my nut is fine. Action at E and A is great BTW. It's only G and D that are high and their set screw is bottomed out.

Is there a RIC-recommended set of dimensions for the filed grooves of the 4003 saddles?

The groove on my G-string saddle is tiny, and as a result the action is way high even with the bridge bottomed out on that side. The E-string slot, however, is very deep. Of course the slots should be different ...
