Check news at RIC's website.

I hope I can get one. I have the feeling I should have placed my order already.

This is my daughter's bass, it would be nice to have a 4003 to match!

My guess was...

John Hall mentioned someone on this forum hit the nail on the head...anyone know who it was??? I didn't have the metal flake, but someone must have. BUT, who was it????

I've made my inquiry. If they haven't been snatched up by tomorrow, I'm placing my order.

The real question is how many will get bought for playing and how many for speculation? Move over 4004LK?

Hey, Paul W., that TRC in the 75th anniversary issue photo looks like it may be that reverse laser cut into clear plexi with gold back paint, like the one on your acoustic, yes? Did you have something to do with that? Kinda hard to see it in the photo. Guess we'll see it at the confluence.

Somebody here hit the nail on the head.

John, I don't think the lemmy's have anything to worry about as this looks to be a COY type collectible. Somebody on the other forum has already stated that these will be easy to knock off, I don't know about the pick guards or TRC's though. I think the lemmy situation was kind of shot down at the beginning of the the year when RIC announced that there would not be a 75th S.E. I've kind of been converted over to Paul W.'s philosophy, does it really matter who puts the finish on the instrument as long as it looks professional and factory? Of course the above content is only my opinion, worth about 2 cents.

Paul,

Building on Mark's post, do you have any idea if these will be treated as a COY or possibly issued with a LE type CERTIFICATE?

I haven't heard of anyone copying a LE Certificate yet. Any input?
