Re: Accent Vibrato Arm
Do you just mean the standard plastic piece on the tip of a Stratocaster tremelo arm?

Accent Vibrato Arm
So on more than one occassion I have poked myself with that sharp tip of the Accent vibrato arm. Has anyone else had this problem or has anyone put a type of "tip" on the arm?

360/6 with toasters or a 370/6
Just a little delima, and a great one to have! I have to choose between two Rics. A Fireglo 360/6 with toasters or a Jetglo 370/6 with standard high gains. Pros, cons, thoughts?

Re: Accent Vibrato on a 330 - Question!
I finally got it on there and the bending did just the trick! I may take the arm off and bend it a little more but for now it works just the way it should and I really like it! Thanks for the advice!

Accent Vibrato on a 330 - Question!
Okay, so I get my wonderful '96 330 Fireglo and since I have been using Bigsby's on all my other guitars I find that I really need that little "vibrato" in several songs. Never realized I used it so much until it wasn't there! Anyway, I like the Ac'cent vibrato because it is totally "Rickenbacker ...

To case or not to case?
Just a question that I have always wondered about. I have personally done both but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Is it alright to keep your guitars out (including semi-hollow body guitars) or shoudl they always be kept in the case when you are not playing them?
What do you do? Case or no ...

Re: Tech Suggestion
If I were going to make these same adjustments on a guitar with a single truss rod would I check for straight with the ruler between the D and G strings and then make the same adjustments?

Re: What bridge is this?
Yes, it is Peter Buck's guitar! I have brass saddles on my Gretsch and Telecaster and I just love them! I was hoping to do the same thing with my Ric.

Custom Suggestions
I have a 2002 360/6 in Jetglo that I am wanting to make a few mods to. I'm sure that this has been posted somewhere before but I wasn't able to find it anywhere...obviously user error! But are there any custom pickguard and truss rod cover makers that you guys would suggest? I know that to get a ...

Re: Tech Suggestion
Thanks Kevin! I would really love to learn how to do some of my own work. I probably know a lot more than I let myself think that I do for the shear fact that I am lucky enough to have collected some nice things and I would hate to mess them up. My Ric is among one of my prized possessions and is on ...

Tech Suggestion
Hello all! First post, so I am hoping that it is in the right place. I am wondering if anyone could recommend a good guitar tech in Oklahoma to set up my Ric? I know that the neck needs a little adjusting and I am having a really hard time finding anyone that really knows how to work on a Ric ...
