Wasn't there some discussion somewhere (maybe not here) about RIC using a slightly creamy white binding lately?

My 2016 4003 is like a cream color. Of course, it may have been lighter in 2016.

I like when the binding ages, especially on Mapleglo. Natural finish guitars look like cutting boards to me when new.
I wouldn't want to reverse the aged look of mine.

Looks great, Jeff! We have a new Amish built dinning room set coming in a couple weeks that would fit right in there!jps wrote: Thu Feb 03, 2022 2:50 amHere's a pretty nice, if aged, cutting board!rickenbrother wrote: Wed Feb 02, 2022 10:04 pm I like when the binding ages, especially on Mapleglo.

BTW, if anyone has been wondering, yes, that door finally got refinished in 2017, along with a few other enhancements to the room, too.

I think Jeff should have a custom Rick with white oak body wings, quarter-sawn white oak neck, and maybe a walnut fingeboard to keep it from getting too heavy!

We'll be around, so let us know when you're delivering it. Got pics? Will it work well with the 1912 Gustav Stickley sideboard?teeder wrote: Thu Feb 03, 2022 9:43 amLooks great, Jeff! We have a new Amish built dinning room set coming in a couple weeks that would fit right in there!

That's the "wife". I've had that one forever. It's a keeper.
