I got to play one, plugged in. The sound is astonishing. Guaranteed to make everybody smile.

No, but with the symmetrical body, a conversion would be fairly straightforward, with no refinishing necessary, unless the output jack was to be moved. You could use a right-angle plug to keep things out of the way.wmthor wrote:Has there ever been a lefty 5002v58 produced?
Only real issue then would be the TRC.
Intriguing idea.

If you're really picky, it's a "nameplate" in RIC nomenclature!
Re: Model 5002V58 Mandolin
It looks like one of the pics from NAMM is a mandolin in Midnight Blue. That finish was not available when I got mine a few years ago. It looks nice!

I have a model in MG and AFG. Both look absolutley stunning on the 5002V58.stanislav wrote:It looks like one of the pics from NAMM is a mandolin in Midnight Blue. That finish was not available when I got mine a few years ago. It looks nice!
Re: Model 5002V58 Mandolin
Although pretty content with my Mapleglo, I must confess that I still have a long-term desire to own a 5002V58 in Amber Fireglo (probably my favourite COY), to match some of my other Rick AFG guitars.
Does anyone know if these are commonplace or where I might source one?
