'81... I don't know. Fat horns, weak neck, baby headstock, none of the "features"...

The Golden Year for me is 1973, just because my first Ric, that I wish I hadn't sold, was a '73 Jetglo. No crushed pearl inlays by the end of that year and no checkerboard binding, but they did have thin necks, half-inch pickup spacing, and a Plexi TRC. And you could order them in Azureglo!

1982 is the year I got my 1972 Rick FireGlo 4001!
I've owned three 1974 4001's, each one great in it's own right, but none as sweet as this.
I still have a good friends 1981 JetGlo 4001.

But Ilan...the '73 also has the baby headstock and the "weak neck?!"

Yep, but it was my first one! I know it's not very rational.
