Paul, the black TRC on Jack's bass does not have the MADE IN U.S.A. on it, that is why I think that TRC is a repainted white one.

Technically, that is White :wink: , not Snowglo, which was not an official color name until just a few years ago.

True, it is technically white. Even though it isn't very white anymore.

I didn't realize that Snowglo was an official color name, any more than Eggplantglo. Any difference between Snowglo and White?

Snowglo was a limited run(s) they did - all white/chrome hardware and binding on a white finish.

They're hardest to find in Canada. Get it? ha ha ha ha :lol: :roll:

It's also supposed to be a non-yellowing clear over non-yellowing white. So forever a freshly fallen SnowGlo! :D

I got the black pickguard from Pickguardian. The black TRC I made myself out of black acrylic plexiglass:

I added a white Rickenbacker logo decal.
