Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hello there -

This is my first post at the Rick forum, seems like a great place!

I've got a 1975 360 that I bought about a year ago - it's still listed from the previous owner in the registry if anyone cares to look (SN OA303). It's a weird bird, with a Bigsby and a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups that I can't seem to identify. My questions: I think the Bigsby was installed at the factory, but I wonder if there's a way to find out without removing it from the guitar. Also: These pickups - what are they, anyway? I've never seen them anywhere else, and despite my best efforts I've been unable to find even a mention of them anywhere. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help everyone... photo attached.

Interesting. How do they sound? I've never been crazy about the look of the SD logo, but other than that, the all chrome top looks pretty cool.

I doubt that the Bigsby is factory-installed.

Firebird type mini-humbuckers fitted under the Rickenbacker High gain cover. The Bigsby was probably not factory installed.

Welcome to the forum, it is a fun place, and we'd love to see more pics if your guitar. Maybe you could make some sound clips so we could hear how that sounds compared to a stock one

hi cris i am the the last owner of this guitar i sold it on ebay last year and have wanted it back since then i dont know any info on the pickups but i dont think the bigsby is factory since there are screw holes next to the strap button where a R tailpice was mounted at some point if you ever go to sell this let me know i would like her back
