Cool Rickenbacker Restoration

Post by jetset » Thu Oct 11, 2007 7:58 am

I stumbled accross this amazing Rick resto, done by an ex factory employee:

He took an old body that had had the neck sawed off and built a new neck from scratch and turned it into a 36012 OS.  I wish I had this guy's job (and talents).  Work like this puts all my Fender bolt-on projects into perspective.
