A friend of mine has a Fireglo Ric that needs New Truss Rods. As Per Rickenbacker they are backordered and will take an order and ship when available.
Can any one help out?

You could always build a set. I don't have the correct dimensions on the top of my head, but I know it's been discussed. I almost did that when having some truss rod issues of my own last year. You can get the right sized rod stock from a hardware store and get it threaded properly. Someone will jump in here soon...hopefully! But I know it can be done.

Thats an Option Bruce. But I am sure , like most of us, He would like to keep it as Ric as possible

Somewhere in my basement I have one extra new old stock unused 4003 truss rod ...
Maybe you only need one?
