Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Well, I had finished this about 4 months ago.
I just want to say a big thank you for those who took part in helping me make this a reality, rick #1 check!

Has anyone ever done this?

I know its possible, but am looking for opinions before doing it myself.

thanks

Would an accent vibrato be a drop in at the strap hole? Your guitar is much thinner than a 300 series or 600 series guitar, an accent will not work. The guitar is designed to work effectively with it's standard original bridge, and almost any variation from this design will not allow for adequate b...

There's always the opportunity to pick up another Rickenbacker that shows more wood (so to speak :lol: ) next week or so... :mrgreen: Original guards may not be available online, but PM me if you want a correct guard. You mention the "New Jersey butcher". With all due respect, don't compo...

The reason why this bothers me is that I don't have the original pickguard to cover up all that wood (Nor would I wish to :D )And may have a smaller, semi-lennon, 325 single guard inspired, made by myself. Rem, trying to follow along - what are you planning on here? A 325 pickguard would absolutely...

More questions: Would the repaint TRC here be a direct drop in? I asked for a tracing outline, but no response.

Regarding the tuners would I need the long-shaft 1.44 inches or the short shaft 1.34 inches? I tried measuring it but it was too close to call. Regarding the strap bolts, would the ones from the c58 at the boutique be a drop in replacement? or would one of the others be better? Now, for the output o...

Paul, congratulations. We eagerly await the photos of the restoration. :) Thanks, feel free to call me rem as that is what my friends call me and is part of my actual name. I have throughly inspected the guitar and it seems on the 1st fret there is some JG finish. I highly doubt it came from RIC th...

Hmm, would the black nail polish be better and less time consuming or should I go with the paint and clear nail polish? They both do the same job right? So does it matter?


Thanks

Thanks, What should I do to cover the finish chips on the guitar? I'm only looking to cover the maple wood thats been exposed, What would you suggest to reapir the JG finish. I think these are Polyutherane right? So would the old clear nail polish trick with the black paint coverup work?

Thanks

If this is in the wrong place please move it. Yes this is the guitar-murph one http://my.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1 Well, she's mine!!! Fresh from the NJ Butcher My first rickenbacker. A while back I had decided to get either a 3/4 scale or a 12 but the prices deterred me. But I final...

I'm looking at getting this body and doing a somewhat faithfull restoration. Will it be worth the trouble from the seller??? I've always wanted a 3/4 scale. That aside does this seem real to you? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Used-golden-truss-rod-cover-Rickenbacker-325-360-any-model-Great-Cond-/2907571644...
