Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Wow. First of all, I can’t believe I still have a log in here. I wanted to update you guys so I’m dredging up this 14 year old thread. Obviously a ton has changed but I’ve finally taken the plunge and started the repair process on my dad’s capri. It should take about 4 weeks or so. I decided to get ...

in nashville a few years ago we had heard between 6 and 8 thousand. but I really am not going to sell it...i'm not crazy. its a dream guitar and I just want to be able to play it.

I really don't plan on selling this guitar, so collectibility is a definite factor, but maintaining it and playing it for my kids is also a factor. I am obviously not refinishing it or any of that. Honestly, a good tech might be able to straighten out the buzz without replacing the frets or any of t...

Welcome, Robert. I take it you and Nick are friends? I know someone who can get your Capri up and running again, Nick. Look no further than our own Paul W. (aka Jingle_Jangle). He's actually lisenced to build Ric acoustic guitars and has restored tons of Rics that needed repairs, refins or anything...

I am blown away by all the comments already...I will take the time to answer everything once I get back to school tomorrow. Thanks for all the welcomes and everything; I really appreciate it. I am reading the posts, just trying to figure out what to say. Thanks again all and I will get back to you w...

I guess they are doing a show at something like the go go club. Not...

actually I just met robert on Thegearpage forums. I had posted a similar post there, and he suggested this forum. I am glad he did because it seems like this is the place to be for rics. Anyways, I'm scanning some old pics of my dad gigging with the guitar, but you can't really see the guitar very w...

I definitely don't want to change anything. Mostly what I would want to have done would be to have the frets redressed (but only if that would not hurt the value of the guitar) along with other basic set up procedures. I just worry about it surviving for years to come. Honestly, I would drive this g...

Hey guys, I'm new here and have been trying to figure out a way not to step on any toes too soon by starting a topic, but couldn't really find any way to introduce myself. Just posting some pics of my dad's Rickenbacker. He bought it back in '61 new and gigged with it for probably 15 years. It opene...
