The same guy made a Yellow Submarine guitar (not a Ric) which isn't toooo bad. But this is. Looks like Lennon with a black eye.

I thought it was Mount Rushmore at first!

That's wrong on SO many levels...what's wrong with a sticker, for God's sake. Just because you have the tools, doesn't mean you should use them. Make it go away. Now.

I remember when the artist, Doug Rowell, was auctioning this guitar on eBay in October 2001. He insisted that the guitar body was maple and a model 220, while I told him that the pickups, controls, neck, headstock, and bridge/tailpiece indicated that this was a model 430, which had a mahogany body. He told me I was wrong, although the guitar was "surprisingly light for a maple body." I didn't ask him for the serial number, which probably would have settled it.

I didn't know Benjamin Franklin played a Rickenbacker.
Cool!

Kenny, Someone punched Lennon (in the left eye) while he was sitting for this piece. Something to do with throwin' Best out of the band!

Oh! It was the right eye. Wrong guy!
