PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING AND MEASURE THE WIDTH OF YOUR NUT, IS IT 41.1mm ???? If so ,this is not for you.

Here’s the problem,
Back in the dim distant past Rickenbacker had 2 different sizes (Width) of 12 string nuts and  6 string nuts for “standard” width necks both BOUND and UNBOUND
In the past 03327 (12 string nut)  and the 03325 (6 string nut) were fitted to guitars with UNBOUND necks and measured 39.5 mm. and were listed as nuts for necks with “No Binding”
and 03328 (12 string nut)  and the 03326 (6 string nut) were fitted to guitars with BOUND necks and measured 41.4 mm.

Today all Rickenbacker standard neck widths are listed as 41.4mm. at the nut and they list their Standard 6 string Nut as part Number 03325 and the standard 12 string nut as 03327 . BUT they measure only 39.5 mm and consequently are too narrow for a perfect fit on ALL  current standard necks and historic BOUND necks and on some historic UNBOUND  necks .

To check this out we tried a New 03327 on our 1998 370/12 RM and a 2024 360/12 both bound necks and it is too narrow but is a perfect fit on a 1987 610/12(unbound neck)

Similarly a new 03325 on a 2024 330/6 (Unbound)  is too narrow as the 330 is listed now as having a 41.4mm wide neck.

Rickenbacker do not currently supply the 03328 nut as they list only the 03327 nut as their standard 12 string nut .
Rickenbacker do not currently supply the 03326 nut as they list only the 03325 nut as their standard 6 string nut.

So it seems that the NEW 03325 and 03327 are actually 03326 and 03328 respectively.

Wider (Non Standard”neck guitars are  the 660 (45.5mm) 650 (44.54mm) and 1993Plus (44.45mm) nuts for these guitars are serviced by nuts 03295(12 string) and 03294 (6 string)
