These are definitely jaw-dropper beauties!!

I wonder how many more Ric attic finds are out there ... *sighs*

Wow, that might be the flamey-est RM 1999 I've ever seen. Super wood, a beauty.

+1!!! Fabulous figuring on this boomer!

Is that an original silver case I see?

CONGRATS JOHN!

Thanks for the comments. The case is not the original one.

Wow! That's some gorgeous maple!

Yes it is!

Sure that's not an RM?

[johna]

I'm not sure. I understood from other posts that 4001S / RM1999 are the same physically, and it is an RM1999 only if exported to the UK. I assume the serial number and Rickenbacker shipping records are the only way of finding this out.

What a superb example. Definitely one of the best from a grain perspective. Gerry's had a nice touch as well, so possibly the wood used for the DK down under batch was a bit special...

Refresh my memory Ron!

Too many months baking in a Florida heatwave with no roof on the car and extremely generous people with Pinot Noir has turned my mind a little South of Swiss Cheese!
