     Sn is 0435873. Confirmed by image of body cavity of carcass

    Butchered in NJ March 2015 Ebay 351341181868 and 201307236284

    I bought the guitar in early 2013 and have never taken it on the road. It is in excellent condition for a 2004, and seems to have spent most of its life in the case. It does not have any smoke order. The guitar does have some typical, light, Blue Boy fading/yellowing, and also some light finish checking when viewing toward brighter lighting. Light normal wear on the back side. The factory installed vintage pickups and all electronics are excellent. The frets are also in excellent condition. The previous owner made the following modifications:

    1. Installed an Accent Vibrato
    2. Installed brown/gold oven knobs
    3. Installed light gold top/bottom pickguards
    4. Installed a light gold TRC

    I do not know where the light gold pickguard and TRC were manufactured. I also do not know if the TRC is a Ric original that was painted light gold.

    I made some modifications when I bought the guitar. I swapped the Accent Vibrato for a Winfield trapeze tailpiece. Doing so left a small finish yellow spot where the vibrato roller made contact with the body. It’s underneath the trapeze tailpiece - you can see it in the photos.

    I had my luthier perform the tailpiece swap. He also set it up for low action with a new set of Ric strings. I am including the following spare parts in case the buyer wants to make their own modifications:

    1. Accent Vibrato
    2. Four vintage black knobs - I do not have the smaller vintage blend knob
    3. Rickenbacker gold upper and gold lower pickguards that came off of a 660/6

    I do not have the original “R” tailpiece, nor the original white TRC.
