T R C`s

Post by scotty »

I notice there is a difference in the length of the lefties TRS`s to accommodate the Rickenbacker but i also notice that the lefties have the Made in America written underneath as apposed to the RH models next to the nut or if you like next to the R.Is this new for the 08`s or do all the lefties have this?

The new 08 360

Rightie is raised letter, both lefties are plexi.

Do they make leftie raised letter TRCs, or are all lefties plexi?
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights do make a left.

I don't believe RIC had a raised-letter mold made for the leftie or for the reverse-style (4001C64). Having an injection-molding tool made is fairly expensive, and the one they made is used to make TRCs to fit several models. Some are trimmed to fit (the 12-string guitars get a little shaved off the "top" edge where the strings might touch).
