My Dream "New" Rickenbacker

I've finally decided what it would be.

350V63 style - 21 fret, 3 pickups
Bigsby B5 tailpiece
Shaller Strap-lock bolts
Vintage style Ric-Deluxe tuners.
Vintage gold guards and TRC
Black vintage control knobs
Dot inlays on fretboard
Checkerbinding:
1. on body - top and bottom
2. on neck
3. on headstock
Toaster in Neck and Middle, HB at Bridge
Typical 5 control knob setup.
Push/Pull pot on Bridge tone control to split the HB coil.
Birdseye maple throughout
Montezuma Brown color

(Sort of Suzanna Hoff Signature meets Mark Hudson's Purpleburst 350 - but with a twist)


Boy would I love to own that guitar...
I'd pull the trigger today. :-)

Alas, no Rickenbacker Custom Shop.

You know that Ric bass in the museum with two toasters and 4005-style pickguard? That would be the basis for my dream Ric bass.

Since we're talking dreams, I'd really like to have a short scale 4003 bass.

These are just fun dreams. :-) No custom shop complaints or ANYTHING like that. It's just fun to dream!

(But I'd REALLY like mine to come true! lol)
