Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi everybody from a first timer.

I was hoping someone out there could help me.
I have a 1964 Rose Morris 1997 which I got in 1970 and used in a couple of bands until around '73 when studies became more important. Since then it has mostly stayed in its case and only gets taken out occasionally - I know I should play it more - but I have large hands and I find the neck a little narrow. Still, I love the look of it. Recently I noticed a lot of crackling when I plugged it in, which turned out to be loose wires under the scratchplate. There's not a lot of slack in the wiring so I managed to detach a couple when I turned over the perspex, and, although I think I know where they go, I would rather be sure before I start soldering. So if anyone can point me towards a '60s 335/1997 wiring diagram I would be grateful. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply. Obvious really when you think about it - look on the Rickenbacker website.

Hi Glen,

Welcome to the Forum! Can you post some pics of your guitar?

Thanks, Tony

Not sure how to do this. Here goes.

Great looking RM, Glenn!

WOW Glen, best compliments and welcome to the forum

Gorgeous 1997!

Glenn-----lovely RM!! Great wear/patina all over. (We need to get you a top pickguard, mate!).

Not to mention a very nice pinstripe JTM50 stack. Nice.

Very nice RoMo. RoMo, Tele and JTM half-stack...very Townshend-esque setup from late '66!

Welcome aboard Glenn!

Nice to see someone else from Norn Iron !

Beautiful guitar ya got there.
Ya know i missed one of these back in the early 90's down in Session Music ,when they where at Dublin road.
1965 with original case £250/299 or something stupid ! I think they sold it for 399.
I met,and knew the guy's dad who got it a few months later in the bank!
Small world.

+1!

Welcome aboard, Glenn!

Thanks everybody. It's a JMP 50, not a JTM. Bought new in 1968.
