Someone's going to get a STEAL on it probably! Wow. Even if the seller is misinformed into thinking he has a 90s Rose Morris :wink: ...someone is going to get a V series 1997 with what looks to be a properly installed Bigsby -and dig that darkish Fireglo.

Wish I had some spare change lying around.

I don't doubt the manufacture date; I'm just saying this is a V-series reissue 1997 model and not a Rose Morris export.

Either the seller just doesn't know much about the Rickenbacker product line (and someone put the Rose Morris bug in his ear) or he's VERY savvy and peppered his auction with that term as bait. But I don't suspect anything nefarious here.

I can see this beauty being refinished in an ice tea burst...

Overpaid, IMO

in this market....with mods like a Bigsby, that's a $1800 instrument. So...not terribly overpriced, I guess.
