I'd like to find an early 73 4001 in walnut, it was available according to the color chart at Mike Parks website. Walnut with checkered binding would be very rare(for a 4001).
73 Feb 4001, 73 March 4001, 73 April 4001, 73 May 4001, 73 June 4001, 73 July 4001 04 MM Bongo 5HSp, 07 MM Bongo 5HS, 09 MM Bongo 5HS, 09 MM Bongo 5Hp, 11 MM Bongo 5H
Nobody noticed my BB practice room! Actually, I just noticed its pretty close to the Blue Boy color today after seeing all those BBs in the thread covering them.
Time for a change. Another popular standard "color": Mapleglo! Maybe not a color, really, but one of the oldest Rick finishes there is. So, for the week of 6-12 April, post photos of your Mapleglo Ricks!
