Hi guys,
I'd like to buy a Jetglo and someone in Holland offered me this Jetglo 4001 from '76. What do you think about it? Is the bridge pickup original?
Thanks in advance!
Phil

looks to be original except for a couple of pickguard screws . Nice bass.

'76 was a good year for 4001's. Mine has a real nice neck profile.

Looks pretty much original...but I'd have never caught the screws being replacements!

It'll sound good, too!

Those hi-gains sound great.

As Henny said!

Have a look under the truss rod cover! Check if the adjustment nuts for the rods are OK.
Seems like it is "decapped" (bass cut capacitor removed) already!

Yup . Thus the red jumper wire.

May I be so ignorant as to ask the brand of those tuners? They're different from my '83, but similar to my '70s Ibanez.

I don't know the brand of the tuners. Aren't they original?

They look the same as my '76 & '77 both. Klusons aren't they?

The also look the same as the ones on my '77.

They appear to be the standard nickel plated tuners found on nearly all 70's Ricks. That slightly tarnished patina gives them a nice vintage look.
