I can't figure out for the life of me why they don't have two volume controls instead of the switch.

Yes, they amplify that hideous 60 cycle hum to ensure it's always "backing" your sound!

My Laredo is quiet as a baby, Charly. No hum at all in it. But now I'm guessing you're talking about humbackers! Image

I don't know about the why regarding the 4004 electronics. Certainly nowhere near as tonally flexible as my 4001, but...I can easily dial in about 9 different tones the way it is, so it's not like you're stuck. So far I'm OK with just the single volume and tone. Would be cool if there were the option to get the VVT configuration or even stacked pots, but then we're getting into the "Ric Custom Shop" issue again...

It wouldn't have to be a custom shop issue, it could be standard to have VVT controls, it just makes more sense. 4001s and 4003s have individual volume controls, so why not the 4004?

I saw this morning that this guitar was only at $825 with a little over a day left. Either no reserve or reserve already met. Seems like a great deal-doubt it will go over a grand.

You can't really tell until the auction is over.....it may jump a few hundred at the end. Some of us may be just waiting to place bids Image.

I like the green, actually its my favorite color. I would contact the seller and ask for better pics if interested. My trans Red 4004 CII is very hard to capture the true color.

All the pics I've posted of mine here on the forum always turn out to orange looking, I'm betting its the same with the green finish, I'm thinking its much darker.
