My Rick collection...so far.

Post by rickon »

So I finally got around to snapping some pics to share with y'all.

4003FG, 4003BB(minty green), 620TURQ

And I just made the plunge...now the wait...
Reserved a 4001C64 Jetglo with Mike parks.
Sigh...

Gonna have to pic something up in the interim, probably a TURQ or DG Image

Tasteful collection, Jim! Very nice indeed.

Uh, is it me... or is the treble pickup assembly on your Blueboy.... wonky? Image

Gives it some unique character, I guess.. different from the rest ;)

I'm considering getting a BB, they're *the* finish to have for Deluxe 4003s...

Jim, you should try gold plastic parts on your Blueboy...that look is to die for, IMO.

That p/u does look weird, I wonder what happened, must have been a Friday or a Monday at the factory. Can you drill new holes for the surround and mount it straight?

I'm surprised it passed inspection.

Figured out that I can drill some slots by the plate holes and it will shift over.
Already lost 1mil just by shifting the assembly over.
