Paul McCartney Rickenbacker 4001 1964

This model was based on 3 different blueprints purchased from luthiers whose dimensions were clearly incorrect.
Information was sought from owners of this bass model from different years (64, 71 and 76) and the result was closer to Paul McCartney's bass.

Headstock joint and angle, body dimensions, scale radius were based on measurements and photos sent to 3dcncguitars.

Other parts are a mix between all the versions mentioned above resulting from a discussion about which points would be interesting to use.

As always, 3dcncguitars models are not true copies of the original models.
The intention is to offer close models and they are fit with creative freedom to better suit the work.
