Pretty close... :D

Hmmm...

Start with a 60's 335, add binding to the body, fireglo finish to the front of the body and neck, Rose Morris "redburst" to the back of the body, slap on a Mastery bridge and away we go! A matching 330/12 would probably be a good idea, but I don't want to be too greedy :wink:

A 350/6 in FG or JG
full width triangle inlays
R tailpiece
double plain white bindings
neck bindings
white pick guards
three hi gain pickups
5 way pickup switch
21 frets small fret wire

The blend knob would have a pull out switch
to make the center pickup go out of phase.

A slash-shaped sound hole, with plain binding.

Other then the Fireglo and the sound hole, it sounds a lot like a Susanna Hoff's Limited edition!

For guitars, it would be a Model 1993/12 in Burgundy-glo, with a wide 660/12 style neck.

For basses, it would be a Model 1999, also in Burgundy-glo!

Also, the difference is the bindings, bridge pickup, number
of frets, scale, shorter neck and overall length.

After the announcement of the 1993Plus in January, I thought I'd revive this thread to see how opinions and signature model/dream Ric requests have changed since the announcement of that model. Mine certainly has.

As of NOW, my signature model/dream Ric would be a special two-pickup 1993Plus. Keep everything the same, just nix that middle pickup. Thazzit. :P

Lefty 4003S
Fireglo
330-style split pickguard
4005 pickup spacing
Maybe a middle pickup too

Kinda like this:

Yup, changed my mind, too. Change the scale length to 25.5". Everything else is the same. Great finger picking guitar.

4002 FL with a VVT wiring harness, a standard Hipshot bass bridge, light weight Hipshot tuners, and S appointments (no binding). Pickups would be RWRP Toasters. That'll be all...
