Re: How can I get my 325c58 to stay in tune???

You guys rock! I will first try 11s. The 12s worked fine on my 325c64, but playing intricate things higher up was kinda rough on my fingers so I went with 10s and so far I'm good.

We'll see what happens.

Stay tuned.

How can I get my 325c58 to stay in tune???

I swapped out my stock vintage repro roller bridge for a Bigsby Sorkin Bowtie . . . and it was horrible for intonation, so I went back to the repro roller. I have Pyramid flat wound 10s on there right now, and it won't stay in tune even after a professional set-up/intonation. I don't care about tryi...

Burns Reproduction Knobs

I ordered reproduction knobs from the 'Rickenbacker Parts Page' http://www.the-music-connection.com/ricpart.htm

to switch out my 325C58's Stove knobs with the Burns repros. For some reason, the Burns knobs don't fit on my pots. The holes are too small. Anyone else have this issue?

Best,

Bigsby Bowtie Bridge Reproductions

Anyone know where to get a Selmer reproduction Bigsby Bowtie Bridge? I understand they help 325s stay in tune better than Sorkins or Ric parts reproductions (and are closer to John's bridge). I heard Wes Cooksey made them at one time, but I can't seem to find any website for him now or anywhere I ca...

325 C 58 "Liverpool"???

Hello All, As I understand it, 325 c 58 model Rics (in MapleGlo and JetGlo) came stock from the factory with a Kauffman Vib-Rola Tremolo and vintage repro roller bridge. Did they ever come with a Bigsby B5 instead of a Kauffman, and was this model called the "Liverpool" as opposed to the &...

Painting a 325c58 maple glo glossy black

Hello all, I own a 325c64 jet glo and want to pick up a 325c58 jet glo . . . but evidently they are now discontinued. I can get a good price on a 325c58 maple glo "Liverpool" (with B5 already installed), but I would still have to buy the Burns reproduction knobs, a black pick-up switch and...
