Wow ...
Behold I see the line of my Rickenbackers,
I see my 4001, my 4003, and my v63.
I see them all stretched before me...

Awsome, simply awsome, the Fireglo is lovely.

I'd heard that you'd gone off fireglo Jim!

That'd be shortly after I go off breathing !!!!!

Lucky for me Jeff didn't post pics of his 68 Fireglo at the same time, or I'd have to have had a slight sit down with a brown paper bag !!!

here are two pic's of phil harris's 65 4001 before he bought it -i almost bought it, because it was born on my birthday 4-65.didn't know how to resize pic's on this computer there is no photoshop.

Ken's 67 4001S is very cool too, and another lovely fireglo finish. That sat up in Toronto for longer than I thought last year considering the rarity. I imagine my 67 body probably came from the same very small batch.
The "S" was not even listed in the Ric domestic catalogs of the sixties, effectively a special order.

Phil, my local store & I have an understanding, they get a Rick in & I get first look. In December they told me a dot marker '60's Rick was coming in. That's it.!! So far I've found a '65 1997 there & this one. The FG I've had for 20 years.
Sergio, that's the original guard, no doubt about it. The only thing I can put it down to is the pickup is routed in the wrong spot. Just a little off. It certainly is unique!
