The seller says MG, but it sure doesn't look like one to me. Too hard to tell in the pictures.

White/BT, without a doubt.
"It was made in Oct of 1976 and I belive Rickenbacker called the color Mapleglo although I have heard it referred to as offwhite or cream...(...)"
Looks like the guy simply doesn't know much about Rics and their finishes, no biggy. Still, pretty sweet 4001!

That is one color I need. No money right now, ah well....

I like it when it is clean but worn out white can be pretty nasty looking. It is best when it is still new looking or evenly yellowed.

I had one just like that, they do yellow unevenly sometimes, I still like them though.

"... White/BT, without a doubt."
Just white... a BT will have black hardware and neck binding, this one has chrome.

When I think of trim, I see binding... ergo mistake.

Looks more like JaundiceGlo.
