Does anybody have an idea where to get a case for a 481? Thanks.

Hello JSoshea As you've surmised, original 480-481 Series Rickenbacker cases are no longer available. I adapted another Rickenbacker vintage style case originally for a 350V63 model to fit my 480 a few years ago. See this thread over on the RickResource Forum (RRF). I modified the 360 case by moving the right hand side wood block of the Accessory compartment over a few inches leftward, to accommodate the extended horn of the 480 model. The RRF thread is called "Photographs of the 480 Series" http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewt ... &start=225I've enclosed the pictures from that RRF thread of how the top horn of my 480 gets tucked under the modified Accessory compartment lid.

Correct that typo in the third sentence --- not "360 case" but 350V63 vintage case

Thank you so much.
I have been wanting a RIC vintage case to replace the tweed Strat case that my 481 came in.
I have been wondering which case to get and I knew that the biggest problem was that accessory compartment.
So a big thank you to 8MilesHigher!

I would like it if you would post the procedure for modifying the case. I plan on getting a new vintage case (350/v63) for my 481.
