Pickguard for a '67 365

Just bought a vintage 1967 Rickenbacker 365. The top plate of the pickguard is missing. The space between the pickups is longer than on modern 360/330's, are there some equivalent to be found in the vintage reissues? Or do i have to look for a vintage one?

Re: 360/12 tuning issue

So, i have three options:

1. Experiment -> fail -> import pricey boutiqe strings
2. Experiment -> fail -> get a 12-saddle bridge
3. Experiment -> succeed -> keep butter on my bread

Re: 360/12 tuning issue

"EXL150 Nickel Wound, 12-String, Regular Light, 10-46".

D'addario:
PL017 G 0.0170
PL008 G 0.0080

Thomastik Infeld:
SB22 G 0.022
P08G G 0.008

So, are you suggesting .022 instead of .017?

360/12 tuning issue

Hi folks, I got a 2000-ish Rickenbacker 360/12; great guitar, but i have a small problem with intonation. I realize the limitations of having two strings per bridgeblock, but it is only a real problem with the G-pair... So, do i have to get a 12-sadle bridge, or is there some quantum-mechanical tric...

Re: 360/12v64

2 years down the road... Still looking (a bit passively maybe) for a 6-string 360 with pointed horns.

Grover -> Kluson conversion?

Hi folks, i have a 1981 360/6 with Grover "pat pend" tuners. I am trying to figure out if i can put on Kluson-style tuners without making any surgery to the head (exept one small screw hole at the bottom plate). Anyone tried this? From: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$%28KGrHqYOKkQE0ZCMWsf5BNZ%29...

Hey Jimmy !
Is there any update ? Any new family member in your RIC family ? :)
Actually yes! I found a 360/12 Fireglo about a month ago. Love it! But i am still keen in a v64 / c63, but a 6-string instead.
