Swapping TRC's?

Hello,

Just found this site and I am stoked! I've already learned a ton and got a lot of questions answered just by looking around and reading past threads and posts. Looks like a nice and knowledgable bunch, so I figured I post a question.

I know that RIC keeps a tight grip on TRC's for obvious and good reasons, but I was wondering is if you can trade in your TRC for a different color to match a pickguard color change. If so, how would you go about that?

Thanks in adavance for people's input,

LEL

Contact Rickenbacker about doing that.I did a swap white for black with them and it was easy.
I also applied some white model paint to the edge to mimic the body binding.

No, only white ones.
