I need to get some updated pictures. It has Hipshot Utralites and a Hipshot A bridge on it now. The Grovers were shot -- couldn't hold tuning for half a song. It came to me with the bound headstock. It was done reasonably well in this case. I like the look and I can't think of a reason any decent luthier type couldn't do it to yours.

Check out the skunk stripe on this one: http://www.rickresource.com/rrp/chrisbrubeck.html

Same story with my former July '73 4001; a friend of mine has it now.

It ain't a real RIC TRC, but it is authorized! It's the Rick 325 from the Beatles set of Rock Band!
