Yes indeed good sirs, it was.

I tried it with gold plastic, just placed on last night...maybe, just not sure.

Mark: Another Rickenbacker corker. Thanks for posting these exquisite photos. Such a beautiful grain and finish.

Just one more piece of evidence that people did way too many drugs in the '70s.

Thanks Peter, my pleasure.

I can tell you I was very happy to see that flame and grain come through when I removed the brown top surface, but couldn't believe that someone would cover it up like they did.

I found this thread while searching for 'swirl-x' as I'd like to use it on my Jetglo 4003. Just wanted to say, what a beautiful guitar and amazing piece of work!

Really nice job! It must have been fun to do. Thank you for the pictures. They are extremely helpful since I am restoring a 67 which someone had installed early Gibson humbuckers (not pafs, but just after). The top has been horribly chopped into to do the install and I had no idea what the top was supposed to look like - Now I do!! yea! Much fiddly woodwork and painting/staining to do but at least I know what it is supposed to be. Thanks again!
