Without question, one of the best "finds" we have ever seen on the RRF.
Even with the information available on this site, these guitar's have probably been the least discussed out of all production instruments!
Congratulations to the new owner ...and the Rickenbacker community as a whole!

Thanks again fellas, it's definitely a rare bird and neat piece of Rickenbacker history.
As promised, here are some better pics for posterity - showing some of the period details (inlays, red side markers etc.).

I seem to recall that JH posted on the RIC corporate forum that he still had a number of the vintage Van Ghent tuners in a locker. At one point he listed them in the RIC Boutique, but no one bought any.
Perhaps you might source a set that way Collin?
Thanks for the additional images!

You think a lightshow, a 4005, or a 360F is a rare bird? No way. This is it.
