Oooohhhhh, I especially love the pattern on the back.... That is wild! Like a striped tiger.

Man the backside of that guitar is nothing short of marvelous. What a beauty!

Front and back...... that is one beautiful guitar. I'm going to need to rethink my planned future guitar purchases after seeing this one.

OK, wow. Just WOW! That really makes me wish I could play guitar just to have an excuse to buy it! Aw heck, I'm a confirmed grain freak, what can I say? I just bought a gorgeous flamed console steel and I know less about playing those than a guitar!

Ok, so do tell, what's the story with this one???

This one came up on the UK ebay recently. It was being sold by a collector on the Isle Of Man who has been selling lots of nice Rics lately.
The listing ended early, maybe it's gone to a forum member?

Beautiful as it is, a little too much tiger for my taste, but hey that's what makes the world go round!

That guitar is exceptionally beautiful!!

I once heard that Rickenbacker isn't very big for their flame. After seeing this guitar, I'd say that's a lie!

Amazing craftmanship, the most beautiful wood, and then they go and spoil it with a stupid shaped pick guard!

Beautiful, Rob!

Take it into direct sunlight one day and snap a shot ... I'm sure you'll see depths in the finish that are even more unbelievable!

Wow!

I wish I could Gary, but alas, the guitar is not mine.
