Here are a couple of pics. I apologize for the quality.

Here's how it began life.

I used it for many years and after I switched primarily to Fenders there were a number of things I didn't like. I swapped out the pickups for SDs and Maricela arranged for a matching chrome cover for the bridge pickup.

I never liked the 3-way switch, so I swapped the original controls for a rotary, master volume and master tone. I also always hated the bridge pickup mounting. Pickguard by Pickguardian (Tony Dudzik).

At the time I posted on a Rickenbacker forum about it and was nearly burned at the stake.

I love it the way it is now, though I may be alone in that opinion.

It is beautiful sir.

Thanks. It still has a Rick-like sound, but I think it's much more versatile and player-friendly now.
