Rickenbacker Pick Up Modification Question
Posted by Ed on Mon, 01/22/01 - 17:16:16.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have a Rickenbacker 360 6 string guitar and I wanted to get a louder cleaner sound from it. Is there a Seymour Duncan Pick up that I should check out? Also, are the stock pick ups of a rickenbacker the same size as a Gibson style humbucker? Please help.
Re: Rickenbacker Pick Up Modification Question
: Only Ricknbacker PU's will be direct swap outs. Duncans and mini humbuckers will all require some drilling or routing. Gibson humbuckers are way too big.
If you want, try the vintage re-issue pick-ups(commonly called toaster tops). They give a loud, clean jangle. They are now discontinued but you can find them.(check Gbase.com). Rickenbacker makes a humbucker that will fit your guit. If you don't want them, sell your guitar and buy something else. Don't carve it up unless you really like it and don't plan on selling it.
