Mike Rutherford 4001S FG (RM1999)

That's what I was trying to get Squids to ask: is this really the original SEBTP tour doubleneck, in which case why all the mods after the tour, or is it in fact another instrument altogether (in which case why when MR switched to the Microfret/Rickenbacker doubleneck for the next tour)? I think he was a bit alarmed that anybody would be that interested in this detail!

I've found the 2006 photographs:

And the Lamb Tour one:

(I have very slightly bigger versions of these if anyone would like to see them)

I would like them, please!

Notice the '70's headstock on the bass side. I would say it was '71-'73 deluxe bass side as the hardware and keys would suggest, otherwise it would have had a large pickup surround w/ horseshoe and long headstock. I think it also has checker binding .
