That's beautiful. Nearly showroom nick. Almost the polar opposite of my, very lived in, '64 RM1999.

I'm a sucker for checkerboard binding. Congrats!

Wah hey!

Lollar finally came back into stock with their horsehoe pickups. Anyone want a Ricky resissue horseshoe?

Thanks for the info Jeffrey. I'll consider myself educated

Thanks for the tip Woody. I must admit though that I've just fired off a missive to Jason asking about availability of the Lollar. The old girl just deserves the best. I'm amazed at how sloppy the RIHS is. Fake magnets not even bent into a parallel horseshoe. Is my pre-1979 button PU worth anything?

I think I took the thumb rest off and chucked it years ago when there was no such thing as a vintage Rick. Ditto the dampers. Useless things for me anyway. It got it cheaper than the going rate for used Ricks at the time because it was a bit battered. Times have changed. Got some issues. Had a neck ...

Thanks to Glenn Tranter for pointing me in this direction.

I've owned my 1964 4001s/RM1999 since 1979. I do occasionally cheat on it with a Spector NS-4 or Musicman Sterling though. The Ricky only gets posh gigs.

Here's a picture:
