General Questions

Post by spike »

Does anybody know if it's possible to get a replacement "Made In The U.S.A" sticker? The 360 I just got is "new old stock" as it sat in the dealer's store since '98. The sticker was mangled.

It's minor thing, but I'd like to have one on my 360.

Also, what's supposed to come in the case when you buy a new Ric? I a manual, two different wrenches and keys to the case (plus a guitar, of course). Am I missing anything?

TIA,

-T

Spike: You should also receive a warranty registration card and a Rickenbacker polish cloth.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Hey Spike - I actually left my made in the USA sticker on my new 4003S/5. It was placed right and it looks good with the JG/BT. The first time I left one on.

Good luck in finding one - Give Kenny a call at the factory - maybe he can help you out

cheers!

Tom,
A new '98 guitar should also come with a folded catalog poster like this:

A friend of mine purchased a '99 330 from a store that even had a price list of all models and parts in the case. However, the paper was yellow colour instead of white.

The 2004 new guitars come with that folded poster too. Back in 1997, there was no poster in my new 330/6, so I guess they appeared later. One more thing: I´m not sure about how things work in the rest of Europe, but in Spain, new guitars come without any warranty card, at least mine came without any. Same if you bought the guitar in the States and had it shipped to Europe. My new 370/12 came without the warranty card (I assume that the reason why is because the original United States warranty isn´t valid in Europe).

Thanks Paul. I neglected to mention the catalog.

I got the parts list sheet as well.

I'm not gonna sweat the missing stuff. I just wanted to make sure that nothing _valuable_ was missing. ;-)

Hey Tom, email Kenny Howes and ask him if he can exchange the mangled one for a new one.

Can someone email Kenny's email address at RIC?
