I was actually the first person outside the Rickenbacker factory playing it. First morning on the first NAMM-day, Ben Hall handed it to me.
Neck is around 47mm, so nice for a fiver. Those pickup covers were still 3D printed. Growls like a Rickenbacker should.
Ben told me the following: They've spend quite a time to get the right position for the picups. The sounded to similar, so the back pickup is moved a bit towards the bridge. And to answer Basvarken's question. I hope I understood this correctly: It are single coils with a v-shaped magnet, so you have kinda two polepieces, wider under the B, E and A, and smaller under the others. Well, of course the spaving gets smaller per string. It gives an even sound, according to Ben. Like all pickups they are made at Rickenbacker's.
