Re: 620 and bigsby mod

Thanks for the note. My luthier friend isn't sure about this either. I may just stick with the accent and see if a thicker gauge may work better.

Re: 620 and bigsby mod

I gather this is something that isn't done very often based on the amount of replies received. I brought the guitar to a luthier earlier today and he doesn't have experience with this combination either. He recommended I ... post this question on a Rickenbacker forum to get some input before buying ...

620 and bigsby mod

I purchased a 620 jg last week from pick of the ricks. I put an accent on it and am not particularly happy with the feel of it. Was curious to know whether anyone here has put a bigsby on their 620/660, and if so, what the results have been? It looks like the b5 would be the best fit, but I'm also c...

Fully aware of the rule, no problem there.

Re: New factory nut: 1981 360/12

Thanks for the note, it's a height issue, the width is fine. I contacted customer support about it but got nowhere with them. The luthier that was working on the guitar also reached out to them via e-mail (not in the nicest way, I admit). I guess my question is whether the height of the nut changed ...

Re: 1997 330: how rare?

It's called a 1997, and if you use "Rickenbacker 1997" as a search term on eBay, you'll get notifications when they do come up. One went for $1K just a few days ago on the 'Bay. Good tip, thanks. I clicked on the link of the individual selling their 1997, but I don't have rights yet. I'll...

1997 330: how rare?

Over the last year or so, I've been looking to get my hands on a 330 1997 w/f-hole model. I've been scouring e-bay for a while, but no luck. I obviously don't have enough posts to look in the marketplace yet.

New factory nut: 1981 360/12

Hello all, first post, long time ogler. I was looking to replace the nut and bridge on my ric to get more spacing between the string pairs. I ordered the items directly from Rickenbacker. The luthier was able to replace the bridge without issue, but the nut seems to be much shorter than the one that...
