I found this while drooling over the misc. photo's at the RIC site. The "Green Hornet" guitar?

Extremely cool! The TRC doesn't look white though (although the pickguard is white). I wonder if it's gold or even.... green!!!
Considering the 60's blue burst that recently sold on Ebay, this guitar may be worth in excess of $20K. Maybe it's in JH's basement and will show up as one of RIC's Ebay specials.

Its very possible that it is one of the "glo-in-the-dark" Rickenbackers.....seriously. Rickenbacker made a small number of these.

Very cool.
Ric was ahead of the field back there in the late 60's, with lightshows, 21 fret basses, and this sort of stuff. I love the gear from this period.

Steve, the TRC looks clear or green with black writing. Zoom it.
