Dunno, I thought that was standard case candy.

You can download and /or print the owner manual here: http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdfs/manual.pdf
You can buy every thing except the keys here:http://www.rickenbacker.com/cart.asp?ca ... ccessories You may just have to call for the keys and place an order for everything at once. I don't see the keys in the Boutique but that dosen't mean that they are not available.

Contact RIC customer service- they have a limited number of keys we give out for free, normally with a stamped self addressed envelope. Maybe in your case you have a few spare US coins for postage, just as we get Canadian change here?

Hey thanks for the reply about the keys! I will have to dig through the piggy bank for US coins! LOL! Or would you take a signed 8 x 10 of moi instead?

Great to see you on here Mr. Hall! .......... if this is who I think it is!

If what you think is what I think you think, then yup ... it is indeed who you think it is (which is pretty cool).

By the way, if you want a truss rod tool there was a thread a while ago about suitable socket drivers:

I have probably seen over a hundred sale listings on ebay and whatnot that mistakenly refer to the bridge height adjustment tool (a small Allen wrench) as the truss rod wrench (a nut driver), so I can see where there might be some confusion.

Usually the small Allen wrench is included, not the truss rod wrench.
