The bass was not cleaned up for the photos and this will be left to the next owner.

I just don't understand that mentality.

There's a fine line between mojo and gunk.

Next, a '76 Burgundyglo 4000-turned-4001S with a toaster and a horseshoe pickup with a lap steel surround.

At least the mod on the 4002 looks well done. Too bad it reduces the value.

Shame about that 4000. Should have left it alone.

Any info on the bridge on that 4002? That's the third Ric with the same bridge mod I've seen by now.
