I HAVE A 66 360/12 AND The R has an issue underneath where one of the square metal chunks that seperates the strings underneath broke off along time ago. I have been wedging a piece in there to accomidate,

Can I use my new R with the original bracket or do I need to get a new Bracket for it? I ...

Green GLO would be my all time Favorite, Then the Blue color released a few years back..

I think there is common sense. Having gear ripped on several times in my life I think it is about trying to be smart. Don't leave your best vintage guitars in rehearsal spaces etc. But use them for all the special occasions like Gigs and stuff. I leave **** gear down at the space then I do not care ...

Nice guitar. I love the 330/12's without the triangle inlays.

Are the rubber grommets supposed to go underneath the bridge? I always see them on top.. It would make sense.

That is not bad at all. Especially when you get a 3500 - 5000 guitar.. Are they ever the same after. Also, can you tell it has been done?

As soon as someone buys your stolen guitar legitimatly meaning, they do not know it was hot and also have a receipt from a store or other Plus if it is sold and purchaced several times since your pretty much hooped. I learned from this, just get insurance, that is what it's for.

Here's my story. Rick12 stolen from a club in 1994. Filed Police report with Serial Number in it.. 13 years later I see it on Ebay seller is in my city.. In bold print my serial number. I go,, THAT's MY GUITAR!!!!... Call the Police. Nothing they can do they say. Not our district. After being ...

Yes I have always wondered how much this operation costs. I have always just heard oooohhhh it is so expensive!!! but no one ever says how much. Any luthiers here know approx how much a new set costs?

Just to throw somthing else into the mix. We all play vintage Ricks because our heroes Beatles and Birds etc played them (or maybee you have a totally different reason)..

Being in bands was cool in our generation 60's 70's 80's 90's.. Now that kids all steal music and the music industry is ...

I am in Vancouver

I would love it if there was a Rickenbacker Conference in Seattle. Epecially if it were a full guitar show. We never seem to get things like NAMM up here. Not sure why.

Well having a 60's Rick period is KILLER.. I have to throw that in. I always wanted one and I got a gem..

I actually would rather have a Blonde 12 than a fireglow. I see there is one on Ebay. I have a good one though that doesn;t need a neck reset so maybee I should just count my blessings.

Do you think there is any way Rickenbacker would ever consider putting out the Capri model new again? They are really cool guitars and you guys are making me want one with all the photos of late. Maybe this has been asked already.
