Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Here are a couple of pictures of the RIC booth at the show. I have more and will either post them here or on a page at my Geocities website.





The Blue Boy 381 is sweet!

Excellent Gary. Thanks for bringing us up to date.

Gary, I hope either you or someone else posts pics of the 4004 FG. It's really something.

As a matter of fact, if I may say so, I'm really proud of the Fireglo finshes we've had as of late. Not too dark, and a nice dissolve from the outer red to the center. Go RIC paint shop! Woooo!

My feet hurt from too much NAMM. Good night!

"Ask and ye shall receive..."

Hey , a 4004/5!!! It's mine, mine mine!!! No, Give it back, you hear!!

Jeeez Gary....the least you could do is spell Riceknbacker correctly on your web site. They aren’t made in Japan...yet!!....hehe.

That's what typing at 2 a.m. will do to a person's credibility! Thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix that when I add the link to the NAMM pictures (should be either tomorrow or Wodin's Day).

Oh, man, that 4004 FG looks just too cool!!! Would you perchance, have a closeup of that one?

My desire for a 4004/5 just shot up tenfold. That FG looks mighty sweet too.

Hmmm... I just wonder what a 4004 in Montezuma Brown would look like? Are they even available in that finish? Come to think of it, what is that 4004FG, a Laredo or is it a Cheyenne II? I guess the gold hardware would make it a Cheyenne right?

Gene, I took a close-up of the five-string but not of the FG; however, I'll go back to the original picture (the one above has been cropped and resized to fit the constraints of the Forum) and see whether I can zoom in on it and get a good equivalent of a close-up.

Here is the link to all my RIC booth pictures:

If you have trouble accessing it, try again later - Geocities limits traffic on 'freebie' webpages like mine.

There is one guitar that is conspicuously absent from the display, or at least no pics of it: the 325C64 prototype. Any reason why it wasn't there? Kenny??

Here's a low-res ersatz 'close-up' of the 4004 FG:




If there's a next time for me to be at NAMM, I'll be sure to get high-res close-ups of everything.

Also, I thought I saw a 325v64 there, between the 4001c64 and the 360c63, but I don't think I have a full-on picture of it. I think one can see it in profile in this picture:



Kenny should be able to confirm its presence (or absence).

Here's a link to the RIC album of Dudepit member Lowell Packham's NAMM photos: http://members6.clubphoto.com/lowell514508/1967129/guest-087c.phtml . There's a fairly close-up pic of the 4004FG http://a0.cpimg.com/image/E4/20/28840420-a10c-01800200-.jpg . Not to take anything away from Gary's pics, just wanted to pass along some different shots.

Here goes...
