Haven't posted any new pictures in a while, so here we go.

Everything (almost) is color coordinated, you should be an interior decorator; you can hang Ricks on the wall as art.

Yes! And it looks like walnuts on the coffee table to match the walnut finish!jps wrote:Everything (almost) is color coordinated, you should be an interior decorator; you can hang Ricks on the wall as art.
Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed (and I mean that in an optimistic way).

Friends getting acquainted.

Another 480 with Gibson knobs and humbuckers. Goes to show the primary train of thought when these guitars came out and partly why they didn't take off.

Unfortunately that train was on the wrong track and some poor 480's were its way.Grey wrote:Another 480 with Gibson knobs and humbuckers. Goes to show the primary train of thought when these guitars came out and partly why they didn't take off.

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
Yeah... Apparently, 480's must have become really popular lately, the prices sure seem to be up, even on trashed ones...Grey wrote:Somebody paid 1300$ for that???IHeartRics wrote:Unfortunately that train was on the wrong track and some poor 480's were its way.
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Yet it's probably at the bottom of the list for a reissue.cjj wrote:Yeah...

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
I don't think a 480 reissue will be coming... not in my lifetime, at least.
Great Ramp In My Opinion.

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
Well, there was that one-off 481/12 that was on ebay last year. At least one person at Ric was inspired to do it. But agreed, I don't see them doing anything then possible one-offs or concepts.egosheep wrote:I don't think a 480 reissue will be coming... not in my lifetime, at least.

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
Yet another humbucker'd 480. That's the 4th or 5th in the last couple of months.

But check out the hard case on this thing. It's unlike any Ric case i've seen and it's form fitted. Custom made or oddball Ric case? It's a 1972 model which means its a very very early production guitar.

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
Erik, I'm betting that is not a oddball Ric case, but rather some other brand (Vox?) that has been modded to fit the 480. Notice the cloth on top is orange-yellow and doesn't match (I re-lined a Vox case that had that same color). I can't tell if the neck hi-gain is one of the early skinny screw pin ones from these photos, but if original, it probably is.Grey wrote:Yet another humbucker'd 480.
