Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I am looking for some decent pics that everyone can post here on this thread of Burgundyglo finishes---all year models, guitar or bass...It is for an upcoming project that will be detailed on the Vibrola Technical Forum. I would also like to hear what all of you prefer in terms of this particular finish, lighter or darker? Post away and thank you.

Here's a nice one John....this is the lighter shade of Bergundy...listed here as translucent red with some good pics:

I prefer the ones that are a little darker than this, but not the very dark ones that are almost hard to distinguish from Jetglo.

Henny's Bergundy that he sold springs to mind...I think it was a '72?...anyway that was really nice.

Here's a 360:

Unfortunately I don't own a Bergundy instrument, but there are forum members who do, who will hopefully post some pics for You.

www.goodguysguitars.com has a nice one listed.

Does any one have any pics of Henny's '72?

...oh I don't know, how about asking Henny?

Here's a great shot of Henny in action with the'72 Burg:

Martin, that's cool! Many thanks.

No probs John.

There are some great shots of that bass on the forum where the finish shows up real nice, but I don't know exactly where in the archives they are....maybe Henny will chime in and post some.

My early 73 Burgundyglo 4001. I have a number of high resolution clear photos of it if interested. Drop me a note.

Here's my 4000FL Burgundy next to my 4001 Ruby:

A beautiful bass, Jon. You've got mail...

Wow Gary, How many fretless 4000s do you think they made? Pretty rare. Very nice basses there..

I think I've seen only one other, one that was on eBay a few years ago. There can't be too many, that's for sure!
