wondering how many Rickenbackers have flame maple, Ive seen a lot of the Carl Wilson's with flame, but Im talking regular Ricks?
my 92 360-12 has some nice flame in the top and neck.

Let me get out my belt sander and I'll get back to you in a few minutes. I'm sure there is some amazing flame, or better yet, quilt, under this old finish.

Hmm, well, maybe...

OK, here's my 4004Cii (now a Cjj due to a few mods):

Then there's this one:

But those just have rather thin flamed maple on 'em. Now, this one is flamed all the way through:

Sitting here admiring the flip=flop on my CW as I read this. But you asked for common Ricks ... my others are all painted opaquely. It's not usual but it happens for a few lucky owners.

Think of it like a lottery.

CJ -- your flaming Maple Rics are just totally awesome.

I am surprised you don't have the State Fire Marshall issuing you citations.

And I like the flame in the neck on Tim's FG 360. Very nice !

Here's another one that's NOT a bass...

This one isn't quite as flamey, but it's got more than enough horseshoes and strings to make up for it...

My 4002 which lowendlover posted pix had some wild flames on it.

I've gotten lucky on a few

Here's my 1966 375 and 2008 660 in Amber Fireglo.

Many of the 660's (and 381's) are nicely flamed, I think it's part of the spec, but it's cool when you find one that just "happened"
