[doombuggy]

howdy folks,
well I bought a *pig in a poke... a 80's 360-12 without truss rod nuts I need help with...
I posted a wanted ad for some nuts/washers I figured I will get some and install them put some strings on and cross my fingers...
My next step is truss rod system and/or a luthier....suggestions???

thanks t

*A common colloquial expression in the English language, to "buy a pig in a poke," is to make a risky purchase without inspecting the item beforehand. The phrase can also be applied to accepting an idea or plan without a full understanding of its basis. Similar expressions exist in other languages, most of them meaning to buy a cat in a bag, with some exceptions: Like buying a Rickenbacker without nuts.

No nuts, no glory, or something like that...

[doombuggy]

yeah cross your fingers for me...
Does Rickenbacker sell them or do you have to buy a rod set??

[antipodean]

They're at the Ric Boutique: part sku 06101.

You'll also need a, ahem, nut spacer. If your guitar is missing that,too...

[doombuggy]

yeah I wonder if the washer is Sku: 06105??

[beatlefreak]

No the spacer is further down the page - SKU 06119.

Hold on a minute here...what year is the guitar? This is important.

[jingle_jangle]

Kenny says this because there are two different sized nuts and two kinds of spacers.

pots are 83 but the rods have the acorn nuts on the other end Rick says thats the new rod system. I went ahead and ordered them.
hopefully I can put those in and see how bad the neck is..
I may have to get someone that knows about Rickenbacker 12s to look at it any suggestions on the south or east coast?
thanks,t
