1. If you found one, does she have a sister?

2. If not, good luck...

3. Schlock Rod had "one big truck tire, low on air". Anything will fit on anything with a li'l work. This one should be an easy one, except for routing the wires.

There are none left, and I mean NONE. I asked JH last time I was down, he looked in all the usual places, and nada, nothing, nope.

NOT that I'm trying to start up any RUMORS about the 380L...........BUT.................didn't this once say "DISCONTINUED" on the RIC site? :twisted: :roll:

http://www.rickenbacker.com/model.asp?model=380L

"***New orders for this model not accepted at this time due to long backlog."

I KNOW the walnut is history, but is it POSSIBLE we could see the Piezo option on a 360 or a new 380L only painted, like the 650 series?? :shock:

Yeah, this has been asked a few times since the web site was changed but I have not seen an answer from any one at RIC yet about it.

Maybe they're just yankin' our chains.

Well, this thread has certainly gone to the dogs.

The owners manual that came with my former '04 650 showed a pic of 650 with a Schaller bridge. (The newer manuals don't.) I don't know if any were produced that way or how close the footprint is to that of the current production bridge, but they may be close enough to use the piezo version of the Schaller on the 650. http://schaller-guitarparts.de/hp31007/3-D6P.htm
