My Dream "New" Rickenbacker

richs · Post by **richs** » Wed May 05, 2004 3:19 am

I've finally decided what it would be.

350V63 style - 21 fret, 3 pickups
Bigsby B5 tailpiece
Shaller Strap-lock bolts
Vintage style Ric-Deluxe tuners.
Vintage gold guards and TRC
Black vintage control knobs
Dot inlays on fretboard
Checkerbinding:
1. on body - top and bottom
2. on neck
3. on headstock
Toaster in Neck and Middle, HB at Bridge
Typical 5 control knob setup.
Push/Pull pot on Bridge tone control to split the HB coil.
Birdseye maple throughout
Montezuma Brown color

(Sort of Suzanna Hoff Signature meets Mark Hudson's Purpleburst 350 - but with a twist)

Boy would I love to own that guitar...
I'd pull the trigger today.

Alas, no Rickenbacker Custom Shop.

You know that Ric bass in the museum with two toasters and 4005-style pickguard? That would be the basis for my dream Ric bass.

Since we're talking dreams, I'd really like to have a short scale 4003 bass.

These are just fun dreams.

No custom shop complaints or ANYTHING like that. It's just fun to dream!

(But I'd REALLY like mine to come true! lol)
