Any of the 650 series should be great, hard rockin' guitars. Here's the 650C.

My non-slant 481 with DiMarzios hacked-in would have done the trick:

:D
(Link at the top of the thread is now dead but a couple photos toward the bottom of the first page)

Now sporting P-90s until I find another 481 pickup, though.

Short of that, I'd second the 650 suggestion and add a 620 to the mix if you're not adverse to a little old-school hum. (It can have a certain charm.)

Note that this post does not condone desecrating Rickenbackers, even the "non-collectible" models.

Note that I'm also not a master. :D
