Does anyone knows how can I get a 12 holes trapeze tailpiece for my 360/12V64?

thanks

I believe it is the same as the six string. They just put two strings through each hole. I would think you could get one through any Rick dealer such as Rhoads Music or Mike Park's Rickenbacker page. Both are on the Internet. Check out the "links" at "rickbeat.com" .

I think Don Adamek may have offered twelve hole tailpieces at one time...

Right you are, Lindsay.Technically, you can still get them from me, but the remaining ones I still have are the last few left out of around 100 or so I had made up in the early 90s.These few have a not so perfect looking plating job on them; not like flaking off or anything, but the plater guysfor some reason didn't get the bare metal polished smooth enough,so some imperfections like lines show through the plating.I've considered some options on this deal, like letting them go at a lesser price than what the good ones sold for, or, as I suggested to a couple guys who wrote and inquired,I also have a bunch of raw, stamped out ones, still in need of plating, and if someone knows a plater in their town who can do this, I'd sell the unplated ones at a substantial price reduction.BTW, since I originally had the batch done back around '92, last I heard, the plater I'd used was no longer around.I haven't been motivated to try to find another plater,go figure.So if ya want one, this is the inside scoop for the foreseeable future.
