Most Rubies I've seen have white trim, most "Red" ones have black trim, but this sure looks like Ruby. Interesting wear on the neck.

Too much $$$

I saw that. The price, plus the customs charge to the USA. Too expensive.

It was made here so there would be no customs duty. The shipping might be expensive though.

I always say "too much money" every single time this seller lists a Ric, and for some reason, THEY ALWAYS SELL!

Even ones that are BEAT TO DEATH still bring a HIGH price! He/she has a magic touch!

Pretty color.

The wear IS interesting - is that a result of the metallic silver undercoat or is that more of a staining from oils and perspiration? It seems that it was played a lot but protected nicely, too, since there is no typical worn areas on the back.

Jeez, with Ruby 80's 4003's going for $1890.00, I wonder what a Ruby 4003S/5 would go for?!
