For example, strings could not be bent when the comb was engaged. Probably because this idea was not very good for the player. The convertible comb models disappeared from the Rickenbacker product line in 1976 (but in reality production of this model stopped in 1974). The string coverter was designed by James E. Likewise the 366/12 was a model 360-12 with a comb, and the 456/12 was a model 450-12 with a comb. The 336/12 was a model 330-12 with a comb. The comb converter was available on the 336/12, 366/12, and 456/12 (solidbody). When not engaged, the guitar is a "normal" twelve string. It changed the guitar from twelve to six strings (or less than twelve strings) via a lever that pulled the desired number of the strings down against the frets (and in theory out of the way). The Rickenbacker unique string converter, commonly known as a "comb", was introduced on three models in 1966. The idea was that it could be played as a 12 string, yet using the comb converter could aslo act a s a 6 string, or any where in between 6 and 12. 456/12 This amazing instrument is a 450/12 with a comb converter.This model was introduced in 1966 and dropped from the production line about ten years later When the comb is disengaged the guitar is a "normal" twelvestring. By engaging the comb you may have any number of strings between 6 and 12. The model 456/12 is a "comb converter" version of the 450/12.
