4001C64S Neck

Post by pitchman »

When did Rickenbacker change the neck on the 4001C64S? I just picked one from '06 that has a one piece neck and it is fantastic. I know there has been a lot of discussion about the two types. Which style, one or two piece is true to the era?

True to the era would be the one piece neck.

Thanks. Kinda thought that. Any thoughts why they went to the 2 piece for the 64S?

They went to the two piece for all necks. A lot more stable, allowing for a smaller neck profile.

I have a C64S from late in the run (its one of the mid-blue ones). Two piece neck and a very nice slim feel!

My c64 is an August 2010 in FG. It also has a slim, 2-piece neck that is very fast and comfortable.
