Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hello to all my new friends!
I have a RARE opportunity to own an inexpensive 1968 366/12 Convertible but it is missing the all important comb.

My question is....can I locate a comb somewhere or will it be a completely impossible buy for me? Would Rickenbacker have one in the vault somewhere or are there any Luthiers out here in Rickland that can assist me?

I don't want this once in a lifetime deal to slip through my hands but I also don't want to wind up with a great big nothing if the comb is unattainable.

Please help me ASAP as this deal has a clock running on it.

Thanks all!
Russ

Welcome and all that...I also found one a couple of weeks ago, for $1200.00 in similar condition. It was sold before I could get to it, to a well-known musician who collects this sort of thing.

Hi Paul,
$1200 is even less than the $2000 I was considering. C'est La Vie....

You probably will have the comb machined since they aren't available. Most people took them off since it threw the guitar so far out of tune when it was used.
