LOL! Great to meet you too Ronbo! Now, if the time comes that I decide to sell my Les Paul Triumph bass I'll be able to fetch top dollar for having an "artist played/owned" connection, hehehe. Thanks a million for the tuners. My plan is to use the shell, worm and key from one of them with ...

For sentimental reasons... Has anyone seen a late '60s, early '70s 625 (?) that matches this description Mapleglow Gibson stamped PAF with black surround installed as bridge pickup (or was it the neck?) Toaster neck pickup (or was it the bridge?) full width crushed pearl inlays black plastic bodied ...

Either this store is getting inventory from the auctions, or ???

yes, that's what I meant exactly.

By the way, I've uploaded some better photos to the galley linked above... Excuse the Les Paul and Jaguar. LOL

Hi all, This is a cross-post - originally posted on the Ric forums a couple hours ago... I just yesterday bought a used Rickenbacker 4001 (1981) from a very reputable Toronto retailer who is well known for higher end instruments. It is a 4001 in Jet Glow - Serial is UB 603 which makes it Feb 1981 pr...
