Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

A big Thank You to ricbsound and Collin giving me a ballpark to start playing in. If it all goes right I may be posting a NGD with a 12 string Ric. Anybody else please feel free to give me your opinion. I am not insulted or offended easily.

I posted this link in the appraisal section of the Marketplace so far no help only 22 hits. Thought I would stick it here with the link for a bit more exposure.Any help on giving me a ball park idea of what I might sell it for is appreciated. It is my Ric experience. I would like to buy a Ric 12 ...

I don't think I posted this video I did a year ago. Still going strong after a year of restoration and few gigs.

Set up and ready to play today 1/23/2013. It was a fun learning process Rickenbacker are a completely different animal nothing really like them. I have learned a lot with this project. Thanks to everybody that helped me with advice and encouragement.

Headstock and Kluson Deluxe tuners on.

Finally getting there. Final buffing really shiny check out my reflections in the pics. Might get it together in the next couple weeks. I did put a piece of thin unfinished wood inside the sound hole. Thanks for pointing that out to me it does make it look right.

Thank you very much helps me I couldn't figure out what to do with the three pups and a three way switch. I guess this is how it is?
1. When the selector switch is down Bridge Pup only
2. When selector switch in middle all three pups are on
3. When the selector switch is up the neck and middle are ...

I bought the pre-wired 5 control harness from Rickenbacker and three new toaster pickups. I can't figure out the schematic and want to wire it like a 345. I am rescuing an old trashed Ric http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=406719 I tried searching but couldn't find anything i'm ...

Almost final buffing polish. Now it will hang in my room and cure like a smoke house ham.

Raye, I hope that chunk out of your hand wasn't given in service to your resto project.

Last week I was rough housing with our Priscila the 13 pound wild crazy mini schnauzer and forgot to say "no biting"as the game escalated. :roll: It really looks like a big chunk in the pic. It's really only a ...

Who's bright idea was it to go Rickenbacker Jet Glo gloss black lacquer? :D I guess it was mine. The buffing compound showed up today McGuires Ultra Cut M-10532. I think it is going to come out pretty darn nice, pics are one single buffing. Check out the reflections of my shelfs above the work ...

You did a fine job for a non-pro, and it's tons better than when you started, of course!!!

In the case of this type of restoration/re-restoration/re-re, etc, attaching a thin piece of maple to the inside of the sound hole with some good double-stick tape would not, in my opinion, be objectionable ...
