Jeffrey: yep, just those 3 holes. Does that give you an idea what it shipped with?

Speaking of holes, can anyone tell from the pics if the Schallers used the original slots, ie could original tuners be restored? (up to now I loved the Schallers since they stay perfectly in tune, so not going all ...

Last set (hope I'm not overdoing it)...

More...

More pics...

To state the obvious, tailpiece, bridge, pickguard, and nameplate removed in these pics.

Ron:
In light of day I see the strip of wood in middle, ez to spot on pick guard side, other seam amazingly well disguised by grain.
3 of the pots are stamped on the side with 137 6540, the other 2 on the bottom with 137 6517.

Alan:
Yes to roller bridge, also says 365-C inside body... guess ...

Wow... talk about a quick response and great info.

Ron: No separate piece of wood in middle of top. Yes, slot head screws in PUs. Pot codes... uh, sorry, can you help me out there? Do I have to open 'er up?

Chuck: Will post a few more pics.

Thanks guys!

Hi, I am new to this forum and not a collector, but I have an old Rick I used to play back in college days.

Serial number is EI so 1965, but what model is it? Was the tailpiece replaced? Any other obvious mods (other than grover heads ... tho maybe can't tell from pics)?

Thanks!
