Re: Rebuilding my 77 Rickenbacker
Wow! Beautiful! I agree on the white truss rod cover. And you can always switch it back if it doesn't look right.

Duuuuude, I read back a bit, and realized you had the pearloid pickguard made....and I had a lightbulb! What about having that guy make you a matching trussrod cover!? That would be soo sick! It wouldn't say Ric but so what. That would look nice!!
Re: Rebuilding my 77 Rickenbacker

Re: Rebuilding my 77 Rickenbacker
You might be able to get one at a good price thru one of the Chinese companies that make the Ric copies. I believe there are a few members here that have experience in dealing with some of them. Maybe they might have suggestions.Grant wrote:Yeah i thought of that but i needs to say Rick ...just not the same but I wonder if the guys that made my picguard can make that and with the Rick logodonahue wrote:Duuuuude, I read back a bit, and realized you had the pearloid pickguard made....and I had a lightbulb!
