Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Yes indeed good sirs, it was.

I tried it with gold plastic, just placed on last night...maybe, just not sure.

Mark: Another Rickenbacker corker. Thanks for posting these exquisite photos. Such a beautiful grain and finish.

Just one more piece of evidence that people did way too many drugs in the '70s.

Thanks Peter, my pleasure.

I can tell you I was very happy to see that flame and grain come through when I removed the brown top surface, but couldn't believe that someone would cover it up like they did.

Very nice work. heartwarming to see it restored to original Splendor!

I found this thread while searching for 'swirl-x' as I'd like to use it on my Jetglo 4003. Just wanted to say, what a beautiful guitar and amazing piece of work!

Thanks for sharing. Great job!

+1 !

Really nice job! It must have been fun to do. Thank you for the pictures. They are extremely helpful since I am restoring a 67 which someone had installed early Gibson humbuckers (not pafs, but just after). The top has been horribly chopped into to do the install and I had no idea what the top was supposed to look like - Now I do!! yea! Much fiddly woodwork and painting/staining to do but at least I know what it is supposed to be. Thanks again!

My pleasure Don, I did enjoy the work very much. Welcome to the forum and good luck with the project. Let us see some picture when you can.

Seeing such good jobs done and so well achieved is really healthy !!! Thanks & enjoy !!!
