Hi, This guitar came with an appraisal saying it's a 1966 425, but with no reason as to why. As the vibrato cover is missing I have no serial number. I though I would do my own detective work to find out what I can about this 425. Here are a few pics but I can take more of specific areas if it will help ID it. As you can see someone changed the turning keys. For now I'm going to put on a set of Rickenbacker vintage reissue tuners as I do not like the look of the modern replacements. BTW - One thing I have never seen is a pic of what the originals 425's vibrato arm looked like. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance for any help https://www.dropbox.com/s/0vuxzgap7q3hu ...

Hi, I have found this guitar on the Rickenbacker Register which is a big help, and I see it still had the vibrato arm in the photos. It is listed as a 1966 but I'm still not sure exactly why. Maybe that's a best guess based on production numbers with a vibrato and other clues. My plan is to replace the tuners and the vibrato arm but not do much else to it. I have noticed these vibratos on eBay from time to time and may pick one up for the cover. I'll post a couple photos when I'm done. If anyone does know why this is a 66 as opposed to 65, 67 etc I'l love to know Cheers |
