Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi,
I just got a 350 for myself and had bought my wife a 325 2 years ago.

I want to get some strap locks for both guitars.

After a quick search here I saw that you can order new style strap bolts from Ric to use with Schaller locks. I have a 360 and use the Schallers on it.

The thread on the Ric bolt looks like a machine thread. Is it? Do the bodies have some sort of threaded insert?

Is there a source for the bolts that is less than $10.00/each?

Thanks,
mike

The strap lock bolts from Ric is a perfect fit.

Mike, if price is a problem for you, I can help you out by supplying a pair of my home-made equivalents. I'll PM you with the details.

Rickenbacker bodies do not have a treaded insert, the strap lock pin just screws into the wood.

Here's one of my earlier threads on my DIY straplocks:
