Thanks Jake! I just make a wish and click my heels together. Works every time. :lol:

That's a very cool looking finish. And in my opinion, the fact that they didn't do the back of the neck and headstock, makes it even better...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

That is flippin' gorgeous. Congrats, Mitch.

I too like the unfinished neck. It shows the uber cool RIC neck/headstock construction, and looks great with the clear "binding."

Wow.

Haha, now I wish I had kept this one.

Now I can't afford another one :lol:

one cool thing about this guitar is it's a 2006 so it has the Higains with adjustable pole pieces.

Great guitar, but it's not bright enough, it needs lights!
Maybe some miniature rotating spot lights on the headstock? :twisted:

Haha.hey,I called Rickenbacker today to ask about my guitar. They told me that it was originally Midnite Blue when it left the factory in 2006. They also said that it was shipped to Rosetti in the UK.
