FWIW, a more appropriate term would be achiral ...

Well, maybe in chemistry.

Former Milwaukee Brewer Jim "Gumby" Gantner, who was the Brewer's version of Yogi Berra when it came to vocabulary, once called the ability to hit from either side of the plate as being "amphibious."

so I ordered one from MF , will be here next week so we see what we get . hey anyone in L.A. need a skb type , you can swing up here and grab it (Mar Vista) . it's minty 'cept a crack by a foot that actually happened when it was shipped to me .I fixed it with jbweld . freebees if it all goes as planned .

We lived on Centinela by Charnock, across the street from the fire station in the '80s.

I'm down the hill on Grandview & Pacific . Across the St. from the bowling alley . The station is still there but they built a new one a few years ago a short hop away on Venice & Inglewood . We don't get the plane crashes down here , knock on wood...

Does it still say "Please Fly Quietly" on the hillside by the airport?

I can't recall I'll have to keep an eye out next time .

the case arrived , it's "normal" with the pocket in the front . I'll get some pics this weekend . Nice case , MF seems to have the better deal on those as well . I looked everywhere ..

...just a few weeks ago, I sold mine in a decent condition for 150€, cause neither the 4001 nor the 4003 fit tight in. At least they wobble head to tail.

Looks just like the ones I got from MF...

...that looks different too mine, it did not have the cushioning at top ad bottom!

So I'll ask about a "vintage" case for the 3000.

Would a vintage guitar case from Ric be the right size?

I looked at MF. They now say product not available? Hmmm….

I have an MF vintage Rickenbacker case too. The depiction with that photo on their site is a bit misleading. I ordered one for the SnowGlo, and it arrived, as the 'normal' vintage case one would expect. It also arrived in the familiar 'glass' Rickenbacker shipping box too. The SnowGlo fit perfectly.
