Summer 1987, Red Bank, NJ a music store had a FireGlo 1964 4001 for sale for around $600, or maybe more.
Reno, Nevada, June 1991, a music store not too far outside of Reno had a mid-1960s FireGlo 4001 for sale for $900.
I had to pass on both. DIdn't have the cash.

I have a 1971 neck thru body natural 4000 and the area for the neck pickup was factory routed out...

I'd like a short scaled/scaled down version of a 4005 but that isn't going to happen...

NOT a 4005 = NOT XXX5
short scale bass = 3XXX
short scale bass w/2 pups = 3XX1
360 shape = 360X or X360
Added together = 3361

Thanks again for the input. (I had the bridge pup cover removed. There was no horseshoe pup.) It was stolen out of my car around Dec. 79/Jan. 1980. When I dig further thru my papers I may find the exact date it was stolen and maybe more info. Why I thought it was a 1968 had to have something to do w...

Thanks for all the responses. Things still aren't making sense. I have a JG MD. I'm getting 13 1/8" across widest part of the bout, which cuts across the forward edge of the teeth of the bridge, BUT, the pickguard goes to the edge of the body by the jackplate. The body of the FG in my pics does...

So, here are a few pics after how many years? A decade?! Check trim, toaster, no tug bar, space between pup and pick guard, strip showing between pup and bridge, full length inlays. What year was it? Thanks!

It's a toggle for tone selection. Not sure how the caps function, however...

Thanks! So, another pup was added and a pup selector switch. What's the other switch (that all 620s/625s have) besides the jack?

Boy, I think I saw it at the R'n'R Hall and never noticed the updates...

Thanks ChuckEds! Great pics! I didn't know a second pup was added to George's 425...

Never saw the pic above of Lennon outdoors on stage in turtleneck. Any info on it? Thanks!

I saw the Sgt. Pepper film. Enjoyed it. He referenced the books "Recording The Beatles", "The Beatles: Recording Sessions", etc. and the isolated tracks available. Well done!

The theaters are also showing the newly restored 30 min. Shea 65 concert!

I agree, I don't understand how some folks love that bridge cable feeling. Give me TI JFs any day. Well,i'ma haveta be Goldilox here,that's too far in the opposite direction for me.... 8) :lol: TI's would be great if they were just a tad....more. But that's why the old Maxima's are perfect. I agree...
