FWIW, I believe this photo is several years old (and was probably discussed here), and this is not the official Rickenbacker Instagram page (despite what it says). http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=391166 or http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=391164 :l...

Look at the finish, most notably back of headstock picture... handrubbed? nitro? Nitro that I have seen/own has a very high gloss to it. Can Nitro be done in a matte/satin? At the very least, this guitar looks to have been de-glossed, except for the fingerboard. You need to buff nitro for glossy lo...
