Now if that was a 60's guitar......... Early 80's High-Gains are highly sought after with Peter Buck/R.E.M. fanatics.   Bob Belloff (Belloff) Senior Member Username: Belloff Post Number: 412 Registered: 02-2004 Posted From: 67.85.191.150 Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2005 - 01:07 pm:    But the guards and the TRC are broken. BTW, the early '80s high-gains are THE best Rickenbacker pickup ever made, IMHO.   Joey garcia (Joeyangel) Intermediate Member Username: Joeyangel Post Number: 67 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 68.8.46.251 Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2005 - 01:36 pm:    Yikes!

If this were a collectable piece I would tackle it, but unfortunately unless this was someones pride and joy handed down by a loved one, IMO to many broken pieces to put back together. It would be a nice donor for someone to tinker with. Another Humpty Dumpty gone by the way.   Howard Bishop (Ozover50) Senior Member Username: Ozover50 Post Number: 1171 Registered: 01-2005 Posted From: 203.221.32.6 Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2005 - 06:59 pm:    I didn't know El Kabong used Ricks!   Anthony Carey (Tony_carey) Senior Member Username: Tony_carey Post Number: 707 Registered: 10-2004 Posted From: 81.156.252.235 Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2005 - 09:36 pm:    Bob, I have a 1980 330 with hi-gains & they are unlike any other Ric I have played. They do sound like a Ric, but have a VERY single coil sound, akin to a Telecaster with attitude! The sound is big time inspiring to solo with.
