Cleaning 4004ci

Post by Lemmy4ever »

Possibly getting a 4004ci in a few days. Seeing as it has walnut body wings, what would be the best product to use on it to keep the walnut and maple looking good? Best way to clean it? Any info would be great, thanks!

Gave up on buying it, they are too unsure about selling it

Too bad - I'm enjoying my new/old 4004Ci a lot.

The various "oddball" Ric models are so underappreciated: 4004, 650, 900/950/1000. I just got a 230GF to keep my 2030GF company and even though I owned one back in the early 00's, I forgot what a fantastic, simple little guitar it is! Already used it on a studio gig.

Never going to sell this one, but I'm still going to buy a 4004c when I can.

Sweet looking bass... sounds as good as it looks? Don't worry the C's come around every so often. Seems like nothing for a while and then boom, three or four come up for sale. Congratulations on this one... are real looker!!!!
