Here is my V63 with gold guards and hardware.

Oven knobs appear to be an acquired taste. I haven't acquired it yet!

I love the style of the oven knobs, but they look about 20-25% too big to me. Just a question of aesthetic balance. I love the rest of the look.

Oven knobs and toaster pickups . . .

You better come on
In my kitchen

That's gorgeous man!I'm typically not much of a gold hardwear guy... but daaaaamn...




I never expected to find a Lefty gold TRC ever... so when I did... I immediately jumped on it. (thanks to this forum!!)

For me, the gold guard really makes that very impressive FG look even more outstanding.

Gold on Fireglo has THAT look

Yea.... I can't think of a hotter bass than a '59 Ric 4000 - honestly in fireglo OR mapleglo. I'd take whichever I could get my hands on.

Here are links to my 4003 AFG and 4003 Montezuma Brown. Both with gold guards and TRC.

Agreed. However, that shade of FG is without doubt one of the best in recent years...

NICE looking C64! Now I am tempted to do that to mine!!

Me too. Oven knobs... not for me. Very nice.

Gold guard and TRC also look great on Blueboy. Kinda like the original powder blue Rics given to Jim Reeves and The Blue Boys in 1961.

Ilan, is that the one that was on eBay recently? Did you buy it? Or were you selling it?
