Paul, if I recall correctly, it was Paul W. that changed the color of my 381/12 photo in an old thread about green Rickenbackers.

Just another way for him to "refinish" a guitar, I guess.

Kevin: You have had some of the most gorgeous looking Rickenbackers that I have seen. The above is, of course, no exception to that rule.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Thanks Peter and more thanks to you for the great place you provide to show them off.

Now let's get back to the custom colors. Here is the Aquaglo 325 again with it's "big brother" 340/12 in a pic taken before Paul W. returned them both to me.

Wow, Kevin, that 340/12 is just as stunning as the 325! Absolutely drop-dead GORGEOUS.

And I know I've commented before about the amazing grain in your 381....

You do indeed have some of the prettiest Rickenbackers out there! Image

Hello Kitty skull and crossbones I'm not so sure about, LOL!

A PW purpleburst bass, with an ebony board, MOP inlays and 24 frets would be nice...

Wow. I've got a treat coming, but it's still a couple or three months off...

Paul, if you have something in the works that you think is a treat, then I am sure looking forward to seeing it! Image
