The difference in the shaping, year to year and model to model, is interesting. John Hall hasn't weighed in on this yet, but I do wonder if, even today, these are rough-shaped in batches and final-shaped to fit each instrument at the factory. The one on my 660-12 is just too close a fit. Daniel, I believe that the holes would line up, but you might have to do some shaping yourself. | ||

If you want to see some really odd ones just check out left handed TRCs. | ||

Wow that has to be the absolute best number one monumental ultimate headstock I've ever seen on a Rickenbacker bass.  | ||

That's made my day finding out that Peter Mc. is a lefty too! I bet that Graham is as sick as a pig after reading that list and now wishes that he was a lefty too! But then we can't all be "special", can we? |
