We are planning a huge makeover of this Japan 1978 Aria RE550 :
It is a very well made Matsumoku Rickenbacker 4001 copy as seen here: In the Original Catalogue
Front view:
Back view:
The plans are:
- Stripping the paint and lacquer for new paint job
- Re-designing the Scratchplate
- Swapping the Bridge Pickup for a P-Bass-style Pickup (Leave a comment if You can recommend a good Model !!!)
- Upgrading all the Pots and the Switch
- Shielding the Body Cavity
The Neck-Pickup is cool...It stays, but the lacquer on the fretboard doesn't.
