Sad to see such an otherwise beautiful instrument screwed up like that. I offered the seller $1200 but was a no go. I look for it to pop back up on ebay.
Good news is I scored a SWEET '81 Mapleglo for a lot less money than I had paid for the '76. It's not the same, but it'll suffice.

Well, this deal went sour, so if PC2121 comes up for sale again beware. The seller was slow to ship this guitar and after a few days of communications and questions, he admitted that this guitar has had a broken neck/repair. He claimed he didn't realize it, but who knows. He did refund my money, so ...

I'm sure you're right. I stopped at $1500. I don't like spending crazy money on newer stuff, but from what I've seen that should be worth more. I'm guessing he'll probably get at least 2K for it, but not from me.

Yeah, the Irony of Grover working for Ric now. He's getting old like me! LOL I don't know about the tuners, still trying to decide. They are nice, but just not "right". Oh well, small potatoes in the grand scheme of things! Man, that 380L on ebay right now....not vintage but sure makes me ...

I found this one in the registry: http://www.rickresource.com/register/viewitem.php?id=20481 Looks like it was on ebay for a while. The folks I bought it from on ebay (music_garage) bought it from another ebay user (oliviasvintage) for $1340 in July. Where was I when that auction ended?? lol Anyway,...

Thanks guys. Also, thanks for the idea of replacing the tuner knobs, I didn't think of that. I just want the tuners to be period correct, and wasn't sure if the tuner bodies were correct. I've seen older Grovers with the logo stamped, and some with the logo raised. Does anyone know which is correct ...

Here's the pics of the actual guitar (as the seller posted). This is just the front view, and the front and back of the headstock.

Thanks, that makes me feel better. I also wasn't aware of those features on the older ones. Since I plan on replacing the tuners, how would I find out exactly what it's supposed to have? From pics I've seen they appear to be standard grovers. The ones on it are newer grovers with that funky "t-...

Hello, new member here. I'm a long time Charvel/Jackson collector, and sold off most of my collection a few years ago. My age is showing I guess, and my interests have shifted. I had an old ric back in the early 80's and loved it, so lately I've been looking around trying to get a feel for the marke...
