A couple significant dates

I'm sure many of you know this stuff like the backs of your hands... When did the following changes take place:

A) The advent of the push-pull tone pot on the 4003 to pick between "vintage" and "modern" tone?

B) The use of wider string spacing on the 360/12, i.e., spacing of strings based on neck width INCLUDING the binding?

Also, does the 620/12 also now have the new wider spacing?

Thanks!

The push-pull started in model year 2006.

Here is the news article from Ric: http://www.rickenbacker.com/news_item.a ... ews=recent

Don't know about the wider nut date, but I think it was changed across all standard models.

I believe the nut with the wider string spacing also started appearing in 2006.
