4005WB FAMILY REUNION !!!

Post by jps »

This afternoon, after almost 38 years since the last time they saw each other in the Rickenbacker factory, these two siblings had a visit with one another. S/Ns GB 979 and GB 986 had much to discuss about the events in their lives as they traversed the musical globe. A good time was had by all! Image

The one in the middle id the only other JG 4005WB I have ever seen. And the soon to be Chris' FG 4005WB is the only other 4005WB I have ever seen in person. Just how few of these are there anyway? Image
