Like the opening scene of the innards of the Melotron!Yep, loved that! Almost better than the very colorful comments Peter Gabriel said regarding Tony Banks' Mellotron the first time I saw Genesis (04/15/1973).
Huh?The S does not stand for set-neck, never did, never will. His description is totally off-base.I think they are impeccably clear about it:
"The S in the model name usually indicates that this is a set neck model, rather than a neck through, however some 4001S models were built as neck-through."
This is set neck, as the name S indicates, some others, however, are neck-thru even though they are also branded as S models.
Nope - instead of wings glued to the neck (as in the case of a Thunderbird or Alembic, and copies thereof) Ric routed a channel for the neck to sit in in the body with full solid back. The neck also doesn't go all the way through the body to the butt end, but only most of the way.

Did Jonas balance his Ric on his forehead at the end of the show? He did when I saw them this year.Yes, he did, and then threw it off to stage left, where I assume someone caught it!
They did the Spectral Mornings and Selling England by the Pound albums. Lots of use of a FG 4003 by Jonas Reingold, along with his Wal double neck (12 string guitar/4 string bass), a fretless Jazz Bass, and some PRS single-cut style guitar (don't know what it was).
Bunny is well known in limited circles. I probably wouldn't have heard of him either if I hadn't been on Carvin's mailing list for years (all because I bought some strings from them a couple of times).I saw Bunny with Chick Corea in the early '80s. Tap Step tour, IIRC.
