Wow, somebody screwed up. I've seen missing markers or additional ones, but not a misplaced one like this. Interesting.

I should send it back to rickenbacker for a new fretboard to be fitted!(tongue firmly planted in cheek),seriously whats the chances??

Is QC better now?,or is it as bad as the 80s??
Re: 10th fret marker on my 2030
QC is much, much better. Mr. JH is very particular about everything being exactly as it should be, not just QC, but everything.jeff381 wrote:Is QC better now?,or is it as bad as the 80s??
