Couldn't pass it up

I thought I was through buying Ricks, but I just couldn't pass this one up. One of the rare overall Walnut (and a dark one, too) from 1975. Bonus is the black back-painted Plexi TRC. I'm going to clean it up with new screws and treble pickup cover, but otherwise she's in great shape.

Congrats! That looks nice! I wonder how it will sound? Sarasota is a great company, I bought an Epi Texan there, it came in the mail very quickly and very well packed.

Yeah, that'll fill the hole in the fourth rack left when I sold the FG V63.
