I almost had the desire to buy. I really think if I decide to get new, it will be FG though. Four MGs as it is; need color.

Lovely fretboard on that one too. Nice.

That is is, that it is.

Boy, did that ever set off an attack of RAS. Man, I gotta have me one of those one of these days. And the way RIC is doing fireglo these days......mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmmmm.

Have to say I'm really liking the newer 4003s. It's a shame they haven't used crushed pearl for the inlays (a personal fave) but beyond that, they really have got something. That neck looks like it's a nice slim size too. When did the 2-piece necks come in? I mentioned this in another thread, but would a 2008 neck be as slim as the 2 piece?

Total bass porn! Man, I would trade my JG 4003 for a MG in a heartbeat.

This one could be a real nice V68 conversion! Hmmmm?

If memory serves me right there was a period in 2008 when necks where as slim as the 2010 necks.

The May 2008 4003 I used to own has a neck that is virtually like the nice thin necks on my current, and former,respectively, March and July 1973 4001s.

I've seen a nice Mglo 4003 from week 16 of 2008 advertised (as advised by Ric.com) and the owner won't give me any measurements (too busy). I wonder how thin that would be?

I will never buy a new Rick without trying anymore. I bought and sold both of my new-bought Rick's because I did not like the necks. Keep in mind that thin does not mean small/narrow.

That's part of the problem. There are hardly ever any Rics that I fancy in this neck of the woods, and as I don't drive it makes trying out any at distance (other than on a direct train route) difficult. My issue is more avoiding necks like my '98 V63 though, which was really big all round.
