Later Rics have the headstock similar to the way I did mine.It couldn't be helped and something that I had to do. I couldn't do this as I would not be able to get as accurate to fit the headstock wings. As far as I know the original had the neck follow through the headstock at the same width as the nut. Here I had to make a difference to the original which I couldn't help.
Wood for this was taken from the excess cut from neck. Making sure that the 'bend' in the blade comfortably misses the neck at its narrowest.Īdding headstock wings. The first time I have used a router table.Ģ0.75 scale length dimensions found online fret calculator program and cross referenced with a different program.įretboard profiled with Luthier tool 7.25.I'm not sure about the shape of this on the original.I wasn't concerned with that aspect or the original as I wanted to have the right radius for me so I picked 7.25.I will change slight things in this build to suit myself so although I still class this as a replica
The Gear (The Grover Sta-Tite tuners and Sorkin Bridge have not arrived yet) I will be including many photos of this build as I have been frustrated by jumps in others photo progress.This will literally be a step by step progression thread. I could have bought pickups from Rickenbacker (£160 x3 = £480) or expensive copies and may well at a later date, depending on if the build turns out to be good enough but for now I have bought the cheapest copies that are asthetically exactly the same. The biggest corner I have cut is in the pickups. The hardware for this build will be as cheap as I can get using the internet although I will be using the exact wood types in ALder and Padauk fretboard. I will be keeping a track of my hours and of the money spent for anyone interested in this build.
I will be using the internet for all my information and references. All the work will be done in my kitchen and on a garden table using power tools - Drill, Jigsaw, Plane and a welder for the trussrod shortening.The sculpting will be done with rasps, files ,sandpapers and saws.
This build will be as basic as you I can get.I have no woodwork shop.no bench tools like chop saws and band saws.Only a cheap router table That I bought simply for the trussrod channel. Capri 325 John Lennon Hamburg Replica Build
