Well, I would too seeing that is is marked as a 425. Maybe the production line guys didn't get the memo

Nice FG 425! My 420 I installed the TOM bridge and it is intonated correctly. Fun guitar to play.

I know this is old but it still pops up in Google. Here's the difference between the 420/425 models.

From 1958 to 1964 the single pickup 400 series guitar was known as the model 425. It did not have a tremolo arm, even though the model number ended in a 5.

In 1965 the 425 was re-named the as the ...

However I believe the verb used should be Keef'd ?

Keefered, Keef'd, no matter, they all rock!

FYI

GC has a rare Rickenbacker B7 seven string lap steel for sale at their Hollywood store.

I just picked up a basket case Rickenbacker Console 208 husk. Serial # is 2666. Any ideas as to the year this guitar was made? I'm sure it was in the mid 1950's but was wondering if I can get the exact year.

Thanks!

+++ for Bobbie Ingano. Check out his CD "Steel Reflections". On it he uses a 7 string Rickenbacker Frying Pan guitar, a 7 string Can Opus & a 6 string Fender Champion

I found my plugs on ebay in 10mm & 8mm sizes. It takes some looking as the vendors don't all use the same listing terms.

Yes you can if you do David Gilmour's mod by added a PUSH-Pull switch that turns on the neck when the 5 way has the bridge only engaged.

I just love this guitar! While it's not a true Rick, it's soul is pure Rickenbacker.

The guitar is a Jetglo 1999 Squire Stagemaster. I found it in a local pawnshop in bad shape for $80. The bridge was missing parts and the tremblock was stripped out. I was able to track down the missing parts and ...

I finally got all my Ricks set up they way I like them (420,650D,620/12) and I just finished my 2010 Jetglo 620/5. Last year I searched for a 620 and found a nice 2010 620 on Reverb for $1k. It was in great shape so I bought it.

1st order of business was to convert it to a 620/5 Open G just like ...

I have a 650D Dakota:

I installed the new Nashville bridge today. I hand an issue with placement as the original string plate was not installed parallel to the nut. The high E string side was just a bit further away from the nut than the low E sting side. It doesn't mater when using the original bridge (the original ...

Thanks! Good to know.

What type taper does Rickenbacker use in their guitars- audio taper or linear for their volume pots? For their tone pots?

Have they changed over the years?

Thanks!

The Nashville bridge has no greater range ofintonstion than the stocker. One of the biggest problems with just about all 70's Ricks was that the bridges were in the WRONG place, and this includes the basses.

Not true. The stock bridge is an aluminum "compensated" bridge much like the style you ...
