Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

i've spoken to my joiner friend and he says he can re-work the ricky back to brand new.hes going to strip the paint off,plug the holes and re-paint it near enough the same colour.i'll get the sparkys to re-wire it to.i've also found out why there are holes in the fret board and 2 in the back.the muppet who owned it before me tried to put LED lights in with the wire coming out of the back of the neck.i will probably put a new fret board on but we'll see.
