The Rickenbacker was a true restoration project. This guitar was originally bought at B-Sharp music in 1968 for $35.00, by my good friend Pat Griffin. It was part of a "fire sale."
The Rick in pieces would fit in two grocery bags. The neck was broken in half, no hardware or electronics. I started on this by building a through on the body neck. I always try to incorporate something new in my next project.
It looked OK.. but over the years the glue that was affected by the heat of the fire, let loose and the instrument literally fell apart.
This turned better than I'd hoped. I put round wound strings on it and it has a sweet sound
