Jake – What is your experience with Pat Sims? I sent him a 1973 Rickenbacker 480 body in Mid August. He qouted me 8 t0 10 weeks. Then he said 10 to 12.
Now its December. He said the guitar was done and clear coat was going on in October. I’ve sent emails and no response to a delivery date. I’m very worried. This is a very rare guitar. All I have now is a neck, case and hardware. Pretty much worthless without the original body.
