What would a Horseshoe pickup from a '63 steel be worth?
(still strong, too)

Tell me about it, I'm the high bidder right now - shot up from $305 overnight. But they ain't making any more of them....

Crazy.
Sure, you have a shoeless v63, c64, CS, or god forbid, a shoeless Rm1999; worth it.
A lot of peeps who bid on them intend on retrofitting the pickup to a 4003.
Looks so ridiculous.

It's for my '65. Because it's worth it. (Up to a point, of course).

What's ridiculous? Putting shoes on a 4003? I think not!

Jared, I'll take that bad boy off your hands !!!!

Hell, I knew that was gonna stir up trouble for me.
Well, OK - I was a little too strong, but - personally; I think the 4003 looks awful with anything other than hi-gains.
For me horseshoes only look great on old pre-72 Deluxe and S model 4001s, IMO. Something about them being tied in with checkered or no binding, they look brilliant together.
Hey, I'm talking purely aesthetics here. Who gives a hoot.
No maliciousness intended!

No trouble Mark, you're just stating your opinion! Open discussion is what it's all about.
With that said, I wholeheartedly disagree! I've got horseshoes on all three of my ricks - '72 JG, '79 Burgundy, and '80 Azureglo. I love the way they look, I love the way they sound.
