Howard, I'm pretty sure there are two different ones, as I saw a loose 12-string one just last Sunday; it had twelve separate slots, as opposed to just six. I have some old parts lists on file at home, and I'll check them later today. Also, I can just check a couple of guitars to see whether they are twelve-slot or not. | ||

Paul, I thought you'd given up on me!! Perhaps you didn't get my last email or two (after the stickers arrived). Get in touch, bro!! I can lend you three bucks:  Got some small change, too........ Before applying, please enquire about the BOH's interest rates!! Thanks for that, Gary. The guy at the dealer thinks they are the same part. | ||

Aitch, I did get your e-mail. I'll catch up with you this weekend! Three bucks? That and another three might get you a cuppa around here. But I said that already, so I'll refrain... | ||

Howard you have made my day, I will send the photos to you this weekend via this sight. The R tailpiece is crome and has 12 slots for strings. I look at the 12 string every day without strings and it breaks my heart, lucky my 610 6 string keeps me going. Thanks again I realy appreciate this. | ||

No worries at all, Geoff. I'll confirm price and availability today if I can. I'm glad we sorted out the 6/12 slot bizzo. Now I can speak to the dealer with some authority. Cheers | ||

I can understand the dealer's confusion. If you look at the 330 guitar schematic at the RIC site: http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdf/330.pdf (and, ignoring the black parts listed) there is only one R tailpiece listed (part # 0111, chrome). However, if you look at the 360 schematic: http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdf/360.pdf one finds listed both a six-string R tailpiece (part # 01111, chrome) and a twelve-string R tailpiece (part # 01118, chrome). I also checked my spare tailpiece (six-string, six slots) against the one that goes on my 370/12RM MG; the latter has has twelve slots, so obviously there are two types, not one. | ||

This is true, Gary, but you will occasionally find a black 12-string "R" tailpiece on a 6-string guitar, due to stock shortages I imagine. | ||

Photo or serial number data is not our policy, except that the local distributor may have some warranty polcy requiring that. What (and all) we require is the exchange of the old part, pretty much like the core exchange for a radiator or battery in your car. | ||

Yeah, that's exactly how I got my gold TRC... I sent Rickenbacker my old radiator. | ||

LOL, Keith! Thanks for that, JH. I guess the dealer's just making sure their nether region is covered. I'm pretty sure Geoff's problem is not a warranty one. They were going to confirm availabilty and price yesterday but failed to deliver so when they do I'll check the requirements again. Perhaps CMI have their own policy and that's fair enough. |
