Is that light one a Blue Boy?
If it is, it's just dreamy...

Paul, that cube actually lasts closer to five years but it's still expensive! Also, most people don't notice that it's actually two pieces of binding in a stair-step slot, which means they really have to be bound twice.

John.....you make some truly stunningly beautiful & inspiring instruments. Thankyou for all that I have & also for all that I will never have!

I absolutely love the checked binding on my 660/12. It is stunning!

Also, the purpleburst on that guitar Peter linked to is gorgeous. Has Rickenbacker ever issued a solid purple/violet color, or a solid (ie. non-burst) translucent purple?

Purple is my favorite color, and I would pay extra for a purple Ric!

Hey, I don't remember my '73 4001 looking like that, or is it's evil twin!

Back to that Purpleburst.... that has got to be one of the most beautiful Rics ever made. Not only the color, but the checkered binding on the 350 body, and the f-hole.... I think I would gladly sell off half my collection for one like that but in Blueburst--hey, a girl can dream, right?
