Whoa! Now there's something special. I could have picked up a 4002 cheaply some years back but figured with my 4001 I had all the Ric I'd need. I was an idiot.
An old friend had a fretless 4002.

That's not a vintage 4002, but a recent factory built salute. The positioning of the pickups, pickguard, and black-bordered checker binding are like the original, but the low-impedence feature is absent, as is the 21st fret and bound headstock. I think this was one of a small batch made. Beautiful!

Yeah, that's a real looker. Anybody know how much they sold it for?

The pickguard and nameplate are Black. Why not Black binding?

The binding is checkerboard with an outer strip of black binding. Just like the original 4002's.
