There you go !!!! :D :wink:
What they said; preferably with an Accent vibrato unit. . . . this photo is three Ricks short of the full spread:

Since I took the above photo, I've also bought:
Rubies  cropped and compressed for email.jpg
And last week, this:

I need to install a couple of Accent VBs on the newbies, but other than that, I'm good, for the moment. . .

As Paul W's mentioned, I have a WB fetish, and as Dan-O's mentioned, I also have an Accent VB fetish. :mrgreen:
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

You are most welcome!

For simply playing:

My fav 12 is a 360/12 FG 1965, great resonance, skinny neck, thin top -- and that's the model/year of my first Rick.

Fav 6 is a 360V64 FG 1996 with hi-gain toasters.

Fav acoustic is a PW 730 ATG.

Fav bass -- 4000 MG 1974.

My favourite is the 360/12V64 in Montezuma Brown. Great tone and playability with a finish that harkens back to the early days of Rickenbacker.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Yep.

4000, 4001S or 4001 from this era are what I like.

But I could easily live with a more recent 4003 too.
1973 4001 Jetglo
2017 4003S Jetglo
2023 4003 Mapleglo
2022 4005XC Jetglo
1979 MusicMan Stingray
2021 Epiphone Thunderbird
