Wasn't it Neil who said-

the seed" ?

So I'm guessing the 4001C64's won't be too far behind, Ben?

Hey Ben, were any left-handed versions included in that run? I know you said over on RIC's Forum that they would be made 'this year', just wondering...thanks.

Thanks, Ben. If you shipped a Fireglo one to Classic Axe, then it's mine. It will make a nice Christmas present.

C.o.y has got to be white 75th anniversary's are always white,white is not considered a color so thats got to be it or maybe trans white ,on a 4004cii that would look pretty hot with the gold hardware.

Perhaps Rickenbacker is going to make ALL colors available in 2006...even the prior COY and other discontinued colors...hence JH's "no color of the year per se" comment???

Didn't JH say they would never paint a guitar white again? Or maybe it was Ben. Don't remember. I've got one & I always liked the look of a white Rick. Some of the varnish has worn off the back of the neck & you can see the original white. It seems only the varnish yellows.

The lacquer yellows, that's the problem...
Or does the yellowing look vintage cool?
YOU DECIDE!!!

Is that a hint?
All that is vintage will come to pass again?

Well Ben,
I have decided that to me at least the yellowing looks vintage cool!!!
But I can't decide for everyone else.

I think it can look cool but I still prefer my white to be white.
