Like the Fender Custom Shop "Relic" series; or the new "Road-Worn" or Nash, etc.
Instant Vintage Rickenbacker -
Just open "The Box" prior to 24 hours!
Nuthin' to it! Value increases, Collectors Post their thoughts here...

Took some pictures today, but only after fondling and playing it.It needs a setup, maybe due to the cold shipping.

Congrats and enjoy it, Don. AFG is an impressive finish.
I'd love to have a 4004Cii in AFG. I know there are some out there, I just haven't seen one yet,

She's a beauty Don! AFG and RIC basses are a match made in heaven!
Joey - Wildwood had one on their site last week (gone now)...I wish I could shell out the $$$$ for one now, but 2k is a bit of a stretch unfortunately.
BTW - I may be stuck out your way next weekend...please call AHNOLD and have him put a hold on the earthquakes for a bit!
