You could always have it refinished in Lexington Blue...

Somehow, "saving time" and waiting 2+ months for a simple wiring harness doesn't seem to be the same thing...

$1,495 with Kinmans. Silly.

Woof.

Nice!!

THIS.

I'm a huge fan of the 3 Monkeys stuff! My Sock Monkey is the daily player, and a great "Grab and Go" amp. I've got a Grease Monkey 1/2 stack that is maybe the best sounding amp I've ever played/owned, but just a bit big and loud for everyday stuff. You should love your new amp!

Well, that pic was from when FMIC had just killed Hamer.

11 years ago today, this was the scene:

It's a standard Trans Black.

That is correct, Gabe. It is not "Blackburst".

One of the ones I'm talking about (4-digits) did. Pretty certain that's an aftermarket mod.

Those retainer clips always seem to vanish!

You could also order a solid mahogany Standard back then (4-digit era) - no bound veneer top. I've got one and can name at least 8-9 others like that!

Nice!! I loved playing Rickenbackers in the 80s/90s, and as many times as I thought I'd just pick one up again eventually, prices shot up and kept going, and I just didn't get around to it. Would love eventually snag another like yours one day - looks great!

This one just sold (mint condition 2003):

That's been all over the place in the last few months. It sold in the UK last (legitimately).

With a description like this, and a stupid asking price, no wonder they're never going to sell it! "Featuring a mild weight that is far more bearable than a solid maple guitar, this Korina beauty hums with resonance and articulation. Be on your best performance with this one-of-a-kind guitar, because it will pick up every dynamic of your playing style--the perfect streaks as well as the accidental notes that you played"

My guess is he just signed it.

No such thing as a '78 Special!

Damn. I got to see him live a few times and he was a checked box one year on our NAMM Sightings List. Great drummer.

Looks fine to me.
