I was very close yesterday to calling POTR to buy the 4004L MID they have in stock but decided it wasn't the #1 color I wanted so I passed. I have been craving a Trans Green but didn't want to place an order and wait for 18 months. I checked with most dealers that I know of and nobody had one on order (that was not spoken for) so I figured I was out of luck.
In my periodic checking of Ric's "recently shipped" section I was shocked to see that Wade's Guitars in Milwaukee is listed as having a Trans Green Cii shipping to them.....it just popped up yesterday. I figured it was a special order and was spoken for already but I gave it a shot and called about 7 seconds after they opened this morning and "YIPEEEE" it was still available so I placed a deposit. I know a few Forumites have mentioned wanting one as well so I knew I had to hurry. I still live in fear of Appletree Antiques......
I have the chrome hardware from my 4004L JetGlo since I swapped it to black so all I'll need is to swap the TRC with Ric for the black/silver (or maybe I'll just paint the letters on mine to save the hassle). I dislike the gold hardware and think the chrome looks much nicer with the green.
This should round out my 4004 collection nicely!
BTW....the folks at Wade's seem like a nice small shop to do business with. They were surprised to hear about how I found out about their shipment before they did so it was nice to be able to share that info so they could use it themselves.
