Rickenbacker

Here's a close look at a 1964 Accent Vibrato. Note the  'Pat Pend'  stamped just above the main strap screw.

When Accent Vibrato's were first used, in about  1960, they were purchased from the 'Paul' company and were labelled 'Accent by Paul'.

1964 325. (Export model RM1996) Originally Fireglo but refinished Jetglo some time back

1990 model 320JG. My first Rickenbacker. When I bought this I knew nothing about vintage Rics. I ignored the nice vintage one in the store at the time because I didn't like the 'f' hole - doh!

1964 RM1995 (Export 615)

Silver case with plush blue interior as used in '64. Earlier cases had red interior and sometimes a brown exterior tolex.

You've all heard of the Rickenbacker roller bridge. This is the one from my '64 615fg. Note the different locknuts on the saddle screws. These nuts were used from late '64 to Early '65

Another Ric from '64 (not mine unfortunately). 365 Export (RM1997). This one had the black refinish treatment in the past as well but is now stripped and headed back to Fireglo city.

Here's what's inside a 1964 Rickenbacker. Check the fabric covered cables. Hiding underneath is the original green 4n7 (0.0047uF) high pass cap.
