Thank you, sir, I love it so MUCH!! Would have been happy with flame-y Fireglo too! The back is even nicer:

Agreed,and i just noticed my previous post implied all 4003s....what i meant to say is i think the walnut ones look a bit stark with white pickguards.

I completely agree--the white is a little jarring next to the walnut, it kind of draws the eye away from the nice woodgrain. I wonder if a multi-ply black pg and matching trc might look nice on walnut, 4002-style!

I love the look of the gold with the maple. I may just have to go that way with my 330/12.

Thank you, gentlemen! I just treated it to a vintage-style case. I'll probably take it to most gigs in the trusty SKB though so as not to scuff the beautiful silver tolex!

Oh YEAH!!! You could even go with matching TV knobs!

Unlikely - I'm one of the few (apparently) who really don't care for those knobs...

Include me in the few (Chosen ones).

Yeah, I can see how they might seem a little over the top.

I think TV-knobs rule, but only on 4-control (or 2-control) guitars...
