Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi from Spain, i get one 2001 4003 FG lefthanded, second hand, on a web in spain on September for 1500 Euros.

I took it to the luthier and he told me it was a really good price for it, it was in perfect conditions,
only had to re-set truss rod a little and it was 100% perfect sound.

My question ...

Hi CJ Johansson, i did know about the pickoftherick bezel one, i know there are three models of it,
but i like the Do it yourself way. They are better than mine sure, but more expensive too!!!, mine cost 6 Euros,
the price of the chisel. And my rick is now personaly customiced, it worth the effort!!.

I removed the cover of treble bezel and didn't like the space between hole and pickup, so I handmade this part.
I carved it on DM wood by hand and then painted it in black. It cost me 6 hours of work, but now I'm pretty happy.

It's not fitting perfectly, especially in the rounded and angled corners ...
