Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Has anyone else with one of these run into finish issues? I bought a 330 a few months ago, and its finish is very, very fragile. Much more so than the other ricks I've owned. Removing the truss rod cover took off a chunk (thankfully hidden under the cover), and I'm getting finish checking around the ...

I recently picked up a 330w and enjoying it so far, but there seems to be a relatively large gap at the neck joint. I can't help but be bothered by it. Should I be worried about this guitar's future? I bought it secondhand so warranty work is out of the question. It was made in the last year, so it ...

Just got it back. They were on vacation so I wasn't able to send it in until july 14th, but they fixed it within days of receiving it which was significantly faster than I expected. I almost couldn't believe it when I played and the buzz was gone!

Once again, thanks hotz for all the help.

From what I've researched, Rickenbacker does not allow anyone to do warranty work in their place. So I gotta send it to them or pay for a fret level and after dropping 2 grand on a guitar my wallet can't support another $200. Good news, however, is that the Rickenbacker supposedly pays for shipping ...

I sent a message asking what my options are to http://www.rickenbacker.com/corporate.asp?addy=serv
Hopefully, I get some good news...

I went to pickup the guitar at the shop today and my excitement was palpable. I opened the case so excited and.....still buzz. Worse, even. They told me it was set up to "factory specs" and there was nothing else they could do. So I go to bother the best tech around (I didn't go to him first as he ...

Just got back from a tech, apparently the 2nd fret is too high and the buzz is coming from behind the string. The buzz did sound odd, not like a regular fret buzz. Hopefully they'll fix it and thanks for all the help hotzenplotz

Well I got some new strings. The low e was a 54 and.....no luck. Still buzzing. The neck relief has not increased in the past couple of days either. It seems like the only culprit could be a bad fret???

Yes, I'm in the us. I'm going to try a pair of 11's today and if that does not work I am going to contact rick directly. I might try to get a tech at a rick dealer nearby to take a look and see what the problem is. I was thinking about it and perhaps it's just taking a while for the neck relief to ...

Well now I am starting to get stressed out about it, the dealer will only accept returns and whatnot before 15 days. Today was 15 days since I bought it and they told me that I will have to go through Rickenbacker from now on. After tightening the truss rods back to normal, the buzz is slightly ...

I guess I should have mentioned that it is a brand new guitar :D . Thanks for all of the info, I did some measuring and my neck relief is at .3 or .4 right now after tightening the rods back up last night. I have ruled out the nut as the buzz is still there with a capo. I don't think that it's the ...

So I kept loosening the rods in small increments and I'm pretty sure that it's not doing anything and that I'm at maximum relief.

I just got it a couple of days ago and it is a beautiful guitar. I've had limited experience with ricks ...

I have a couple of guitars that I never really play anymore but I keep for sentimental value. I actually sold my first "Great" guitar and have always kind of regretted it. I say keep it.

So I bought my first rick (330) a month or so ago and I love everything about it except for ONE thing. There seems to be a bow in the neck towards the treble side and the high E loves to slip off the fretboard in the middle of the neck. I took it to my tech and he cut a new nut and made the slot ...
