The neck is angled like a gibson, but just not as much. On a 483, the six pickup magnets are raised on the middle pickup, so they can be closer to the strings. They look like mushrooms.

Width:
Nut with 1 5/8
12th fret 1.916
24th Fret 2.068

The radius on the fret board is very flat, I would guess ...

No one able to take a measuring tape to their guitar?

Believe it was a '77, but don't really know. May have to experiment with a few cuts. Width at nut and 24th fret, plus scale, would be helpful. I had read somewhere that it was a 24.75 scale, but seems like a fairly long neck for that scale.

Not really. Maybe just the neck. Had a 480 some years ago. Loved the neck, hated the the pickups and sound. Also liked the angle of the neck. Didn't seem the same as a Gibson, but not flat like a Tele, either. There seems to be some argument, even on the Rickenbacker forum, if the necks were meant ...

Is there information on the specs of the 480 neck anywhere? Need nut width, scale length, thickness of neck and fingerboard, back profile, distance from nut to end of fingerboard, etc.
If not, can someone measure their guitar for this info? Just cant seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.
