Hi folks,
Yesterday I just finnished the modifications of my 350V63. I use a pickguard from pickguardian (Thanks Tony). Burns reproduction Knobs from The Rickenbacker Page (Thanks to you guys), Original Bigsby B5 from a great german dealer and guitar maker (Rockinger). Strings are Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds (11) . Only Problem was to drill the holes for the Bisby into my new, virgin guitar, but i did it !
What do you think of my mods ?
Thanks
Peter

I've done that before; it only hurts the first time.

Looks great!
Now, this has probably been asked countless times on the forum, so I'll keep it quick
Where did you find the TRC? I'm planning a pickguard & TRC conversion for my MB 340. (It came with standard modern white PG and TRC.) Pickguardian's great for the PG, but I'm not sure how to proceed for a gold TRC.
Thanks.

Hi Stefan,
you have to search for Ebay ! And pay alot of bucks !
Pickguardian will not do the TRC because the shape is part of the patended design !
Thank you all for your nice comments !
Peter

Wow that's nice, that classic style with a little extra room to play! I've got a '96 350 with an Accent and it's one of my favorite RICs...

Very nice job, congrats!! When you bought the TRC, did you send it to Tony so he could match the color?
I've got a 350 in MID I'd love to convert to gold plastic....

They look great! John's bigsby didn't have a shaded background on the name, but no big deal, It takes alot of guts to drill into a new instrument. I give you props!
