Looks like about a 78?

Hard to tell with one pic, but sure looks convincing.

Yes Ed. Late '78/early '79. RIC had a batch of TRC's made around then either by accident or on purpose that were beige. My Feb '79 has one and I've seen a lot of others from this time period as well.

She's Burgundy. And after a little cleaning up, I bet she'd be sweet.

I was telling some of my co-workers about the emperor ... they found it hard to believe such a sub-human scum could even exist ...

Funny... he stuck a bid on someone with zero feedback displaying a Rickenbacker bass in a shower...

It looks like a closet with a built-in guitar stand.

Hahahahaha! Having never actually seen anyone's gun cabinet (hard to believe, considering I'm from Georgia), that went completely unnoticed by me.

I have both a 78 and a 79, the TRC on the 78 is very yellowed and the 79 is still white for some reason.
