Don't forget Steve Brodbeck's fireglo 360 w/trapeae (from the confluence pictures string) Looked pretty good to me | ||

Thanks, Robert. I'm going to post a "before" and "after" set of photos of my 12. Which do you prefer? I know I like the "after" results much better.  | ||

Here is the "after".  | ||

Do like the 'after', far better, Steve. | ||

I'm obviously on my own here....love the gold guard, love the vintage knobs....but that trapeze REALLY looks odd to me. To my eyes, the angular trapeze is at odds with the rounded flowing lines of the 360, whilst the R echoes the shape nicely. | ||

I vote trapeze! | ||

One of the reasons I changed the tailpiece was that with the "R", I had some odd overtones. With the trapeze, they are no longer there. But I also like it for its clean, angular design. | ||

Also, as I look at a Rickenbacker, to me, the whole deign is a combination of soft, flowing curves. I always thought that the squared-off, straight-line pickups clashed with the rest of the curving roundness. Nothing can be done about that, and that's why the trapeze straightness doesn't bother my eyes. | ||

Sorry about mispelling "design". |
