Re: Dating this A-22

The tuners I got from stewart macdonald have worked out well. I got 3 on a slab for each side I think they were called the golden restoration turners or something like that. They had black butterbean knobs so it looks great with the black fretboard. For the missing knob I took one off of an old stom...

Uh-oh.... Now what am I to do???

I took my A-22 for my first lesson with Reece Anderson and it turns out the tuning key for the string closest to me will not hold the string in tune it just gives up. I don't want to screw up and devalue a historically significant guitar such as this and don't have a clue where to begin to find a su...

Re: Dating this A-22

So did Rickenbacker use the spelling "Rickenbacher" in the 40's-50's? I was under the impression that the spelling had changed prior to that. The pot code which is in blue reads as follows: CM10965 140313 I need a knob for the tone control as it is missing. If anyone knows where I could co...

Re: Dating this A-22

Here are a few more pics. On another note when these were purchased used in the mid 60's an amplifier was included. It is the same in appearance as a much earlier post I've viewed on this site. It was Mike Rhodes "Honey Pie". Mine appears to be identical to that one but not in as nice a sh...

Re: Dating this A-22

Here are some pictures which will hopefully assist in figuring out just what year this old piece of history might be..... I've had folks tell me it has to be 50's and I've had folks tell me for sure 30's. I guess it doesn't make that much difference as the guitar sounds pretty good to me. Thanks eve...

Dating this A-22

I've had this wonderful instrument since the late 60's and it's sat in my closet prettty much until just recently. I find conflicting dating information on these old guitars perhaps someone out there can assist. I would be thrilled to post pictures of the guitar if someone would tell me how to do so...

Re: Help me ID this old Rickenbacker (?) amp PLEASE!

Was cleaning my garage out and lo and behold, I've found an old Rickenbacker amp that is identical to the one pictured here. Wish mine was in as good shape as the one you've pictured. Can no longer read the writing around the dials and the word Rickenbacker is barely visible but it's there enough to...
