Rose Morris 1997 wiring
Hi everybody from a first timer.
I was hoping someone out there could help me.
I have a 1964 Rose Morris 1997 which I got in 1970 and used in a couple of bands until around '73 when studies became more important. Since then it has mostly stayed in its case and only gets taken out occasionally - I know I should play it more - but I have large hands and I find the neck a little narrow. Still, I love the look of it. Recently I noticed a lot of crackling when I plugged it in, which turned out to be loose wires under the scratchplate. There's not a lot of slack in the wiring so I managed to detach a couple when I turned over the perspex, and, although I think I know where they go, I would rather be sure before I start soldering. So if anyone can point me towards a '60s 335/1997 wiring diagram I would be grateful. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply. Obvious really when you think about it - look on the Rickenbacker website.

Very nice RoMo. RoMo, Tele and JTM half-stack...very Townshend-esque setup from late '66!

Welcome aboard Glenn!
Nice to see someone else from Norn Iron !
Beautiful guitar ya got there.
Ya know i missed one of these back in the early 90's down in Session Music ,when they where at Dublin road.
1965 with original case £250/299 or something stupid ! I think they sold it for 399.
I met,and knew the guy's dad who got it a few months later in the bank!
Small world.

Thanks everybody. It's a JMP 50, not a JTM. Bought new in 1968.
