I didn't know he had got one refined in white. I like it!

That's pretty cool. I think that's called the "Winter-White" edition! I prefer the white guard and TRC.

Good Luck, Ken.

The white trim is the way to go! Very cool!

I prefer the white on white too Jeff. Nice bass!

I love the look of a white bass with a black pickguard ... If I had done that bass I would have left the headwings exposed with only a clear coat ...

I really like the white on white. Great combo!

"If I had done that bass I would have left the headwings exposed with only a clear coat ..."

I believe that question was asked at the time, but was nixed.

I would have loved to see how it looked!

White on white is nice:

What's with JH stating that RIC will not make another white guitar on his watch, or something to that effect (paraphrasing from memory). I've not heard many negative comments about a nice non-yellowed example. That and there seems to be plenty for sale to indicate they sold reasonably well in the day. I'm just one sale, but if there were a white/white 4003 available new, I would order one.

White with white for me too. Though the one pic in black trim on the rug is stunning. Let's see, white/white with a black tux on stage, and cheap dark sunglasses!

That is one sharp lookin' V63!

White on white is pretty awesome.

IIRC John won't do white finishes because they are a PITA to do well.

Or something to that effect.

Wow, the white is gorgeous!

I think that is correct Jeffrey.
