Optimize your Rickenbacker’s playability with the Opus Series Bass Thumb Rest. Specifically engineered for the unique geometry of the Rickenbacker 4001 and 4003 series, our no-drill tug bars provide a secure, ergonomic anchor point without the need for permanent modifications to your instrument's body or pickguard. Each rest is manufactured in-house by Ploutone and features our signature microtextured grip for maximum stability during high-intensity playing.

Find Your Perfect Fit

Eliminating the Spacing Guesswork

Because Rickenbacker screw spacings have varied significantly over the decades, finding a compatible finger rest shouldn't be a gamble. We offer three precision-fit models to ensure a seamless, factory-integrated look for your specific bass:

Model Compatibility Guide

  • Modern 4003 Series (84mm): Precision engineered for current production models.
  • Newer 4001 Series (85mm): Tailored for later-era 4001 transitional models.
  • Vintage & Older 4001 (87mm): Precision fit for classic 4001 basses and older series.

To ensure the best fit for your specific instrument, we strongly recommend comparing the center-to-center measurements of your current pickguard screws to the diagrams provided in the product images before placing your order.

Available in Black, White, Cream, and Gold, the Opus series provides the perfect balance of vintage preservation and modern performance. No drilling, no slipping—just a professional-grade anchor for your thumb.

8-Hole Telecaster Pickguard - 4-Ply White Pearl

★★★★★

"Shipping was so fast, it traveled a 'Brazilian miles per hour' as the wife said. Installation took less than an hour with no assistance. Very straightforward and better tuning stability than the stock bridge for my DIY 8-string kit."

5-Hole Vintage Telecaster Pickguard - 4-Ply White Pearl

★★★★★

"Excellent Guitar for the price point. Finish and neck are superb. EMG Super 77s active pickups are versatile when rolling off volume and tone knob, holds tuning well. Thanks so much, and shipping was Super Ninja Fast, and communication was off the chart. Don't put anymore guitars on sale or I'll be broke soon! Thanks Brett and Cort Guitars."
