Re: anyone with a rickenbacker
Pickguardian makes replacement pickguards - in fact, he seems to specialize in Rickenbacker pickguards. As far as the truss-rod covers, maybe eBay? You used to be able to trade in your TRC to Rickenbacker, but I'm not sure if they do that anymore. Maybe ask or search over at the RickResource Forum?

Re: anyone with a rickenbacker
cover-trade with rickenbacker only works if you're going for the same color, if you got a white cover, you will receive a white cover. I wanted a gold one for my 360/12 FG, but they wouldn't let me have one

Re: anyone with a rickenbacker
Yeah, Rickenbacker are pretty particular about their truss-rod covers.
Oddly enough, for a while I was looking for all the white/chrome stuff to go on my midnight blue 330 which had all-black hardware and pups (it's sold now though). I did see guys at the RickResource swapping black and white TRCs with each other once so that might be worth looking into.

Re: anyone with a rickenbacker
The truss rod cover that's on the clone Doug sold to Maggie... is that a real one, or a repro? It seems like this would be fairly easy to fake by printing out a white-on-black Rick logo and putting it behind a piece of Plexiglass cut to size?

Re: anyone with a rickenbacker
You shouldn't have any trouble with pickguards, but the truss-rod covers are strictly controlled by Rickenbacker. You can look on eBay, but they are extremely rare these days. Anyone selling reproductions would probably be shut down by Rickenbacker very quickly.mavsbball wrote: so as far as anyone knows there is no place i can just go buy these parts anywhere?
