Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Paul has got my guitar now and is almost done with it from what I can tell. I'm sure he's way too busy to be posting so I thought I'd share. The color is going to be aged Jetglo,sorta greenish black. Here's a couple of before pics and one in progress pic for you guys.

A few more....

Is there a picture of the "works" underneath the pick guard ?
Was the metal pick guard custom made ?

This is all I have from Paul so far. He's going to post more in the near future.

Great work and a nice pair of old solid-bodies!

Love to see an OG Rick get some love. Looks great.

Although...am I the only one who likes that brown stain color it was before?

I like it too - it's somewhere between antique furniture and V81, I kinda dig it. Then again, I'm guessing it looks better in the original photos than it did in person. Looks great now though.

In person it was more like '70s "t**d brown". Not really nicely applied, and the middle stripe was covered up with it, too. Looks killer now!

Yeah it wasn't so great in person. Not a pro job by any stretch. Paul said he had a crazy time sanding all that stain out.
