What a small mod is, is also a question of how you see it, isn't it? :wink: Because there are original guitars that have three pickups, I think mounting a third pickup on a Rickenbacker or Grecobacker is a fair (small?) mod, if nicely done. If using original pickups I think it's even better...

For what I know he used his Rickenbacker 325 on the whole first CCR record. On the 'Bayou Country' album he use the 325 and a Gibson ES-175 (tuned down a whole step to D). 'Born On The Bayou' and 'Good Golly Miss Molly' is the Rick 325. 'Bootleg' and 'Proud Mary' is the ES-175. Somtime after...

Yeah! I don't like the 24 fret look at all. 21 frets and the "Old Style" body (square body edges and binding on on both back and front) was very important when looking for a Rickenbacker style guitar. I certanly think that they are original. 'Made in Japan' is stamped on the backs and there are...

On one of my Strats I have a blend pot that gives the opportunity to use all pickup combinations, including all three. I also have a Gibson SG with three pickups and a blend pot so that all three pickups can be on at the sam time. The sound of all three pickups togehter is special and...

I have tried several Rickenbackers though the years, but no one really turned me on at all... This Grecobacker did/does! I really like it! Maybe you're right...

Well... It depends how you see it... :wink: A 325 is, by the way, out of the question, because of the short scale. Yeah! It had/has a humbucker in the bridge position. On films I've seen (and heard the sound) he has the switch in the middle position, which would be all three pickups, if it's...

Thanks for your answer. You definitely have a good point in keeping the guitar original. I do consider that rather much. I love original but I?m no original freak though, so if I really want three pickups, it will probably get it. In my opinion the money value of this guitar isn?t that much...

I'm thinking of adding a third pickup to my Greco RG Rickenbacker 360 copy. The guitar originally had Greco's copys of Rickenbacker's High Gain type pickups but now it has non original Toaster style pickups. Any one who knows where I can get/buy one Greco High Gain type pickup or some Greco...

Thank you very much! Does anyone know or can guess what models they are? Someone has said to me that the LP is a Mint Condition model. Can that be true? Has it a model number like EGC-800 or something? What about the Grecobacker 360? Any clue of the model? ABC-123 or something...? :wink:

Some more pictures: The Volume pots are stamped "504072" and "08 K" The Tone pot for the neck pickup is stamped "504042" and "07 K" The Tone pot for the bridge pickup is stamped "504042" and "06 K" On one picture also shows the original pickups ("Bridge" is writen by me). The pots are...

I'm new here, so please excuse if questions like this has been said too many times... :oops: In fact, to my own surprice, I recently bought two Greco guitars. I bought them because they felt (and feel) so extremelly good, so it's not the worlds biggest deal to know more about them, BUT it...
