Nice, very rare. I'd also like to go down on record saying that I think this is the best finish Rickenbacker ever produced.

Edit: looking at the photo's, the string action on this is sky high,,,could be neck issues.

Did all 21 fretters have the bridge moved ahead like that?

Yes. The bridge is moved forward to compensate the extra fret I beleve. It all has to do with "scale length".

That dark Burgundy is one of my favorite RIC finishes.

#1,the eggplant color with all the trimmings is one of the most gorgeous ricks ever, partly due to the color of rickenbackers fretboard material being a great match for that burgandy.

Is that the same one that they were trying to sell for 15K?

Whoa, the string action sure looks scary! I hope it's only because the bridge is adjusted way too high, which any sane person wouldn't do!

I've seen worse. Let me have it, I'll getting playing well again! I should be so lucky.
