Rare?

Might be 1 of 1:

I'd hate to have a 4003 on order right now. Who know's what you'll get.

That's some truth that, I have to believe, Mr. Hall hates.

I wonder how many emails they have gotten over the years with "why didn't I get the new neck shape, headstock shape, full width inlays, adjustable pole pieces ...

Some day!

Damn it all!

I even posted in that thread, oh well some day it will be true again.

Sorry for my stupidity folks!

Seems that 4004s are back in the production pipeline again, finally!

Small in quantity, but high in quality! One Laredo and two CIIs on the shipped list at Rickenbacker.com.

With the Laredo shipping to Pick of the Ricks and the TB Cii going to the Rick Page, If I was on the hunt I would pursue that TR that shipped to Wildwood in Colorado. Last year I saw the 4004L from NAMM shipped to North Coast and I ended up first in line for it. Unfortunatley it got damaged by a ...

A little follow up.

Still have the original Fender branded power tubes in the amp but replaced the pre tubes with 3 NOS short gray 12ax7a RCAs and a NOS Mullard.

I tend to post only if I ...

Agreed!

Hey Brian, shoot me an e-mail, in my profile.

I have a late model plastic case that has seen better days but still protects the goods. I'd really like to help you and help myself up to a vintage case for my 4004L.

Excellent Jeff!

That's one of the best "My new Rickenbacker" tales of the year!

I love happy!, like the German 21 fretter that Elys got to replace his stolen love...

Scott's crazy flame glo is the best CII I've ever seen. Timing and opportunity kept me from landing that one.

I'm not unhappy with what I ended up with, just wish I had more cash to get em all!

And I'm still in a funk about driving past Santa Ana when we were already in So Cal...

Uggh.
