Interesting, one -0- feedback bidder bid 7 times from $2500 to $3700, which I assume was when the reserve was hit. No other bidders - yet?

Even being a one-owner and nice shape, IMO that's pretty pricey for a '77 Walnut 4001.

I agree. Even in that condition that is way too steep. It will be interesting of it sells.

That said, it is such a beautiful instrument. The burst is perfect, the coloring just right, and the maple is exceptional for no flame or birdseye. A beautiful Rick indeed!

This whole thing looks fishy, and not in a Chris Squire way...

AUTUMNGLO! I'm showing my age (and possibly a feable memory), but I'm thinking that the guy from Atlanta Rhythm Section played one of those. I know he played a 4001, but I'm PRETTY sure it was autumnglo. Lovely!

That AutumnGlo with the black binding and guard is officially my new favorite 4003 color scheme...

I've only seen him (Paul Goddard) with Mapleglo.
