Hasn't anybody notice that this guitar has only one output jack, one volume knob and I can't tell if it has a switch or not. Check out the pic's at Rickenbackers web site and click on the History tab. This guitar looks just like the pic's of the Combo series except for the "R" tail piece. Look and see.

Combos never had 24 frets or a guard like that. Also, that is definately a bolt on neck.

Here are a couple of picture of the 430 I once had:

I guess it could be a modified 430.

Why only one volume knob and the output jack in in front on the pickguard plus it has the "R" tail piece. One volume knob which means only one pickup. It maybe something around the Combo era that's been customized with 24 frets and the "R" tail piece. Has anybody contacted Rickenbacker about it?
