In amptech's post I got the joke but the question was Alanko's and there is no smiley...

1974 4000, $3,595 BIN

Not sure what's going on here. It's a set-neck 4000 in see-thru red with bound neck and dots and darker (than padauk) board. Replacement Schallers and Badass II as per uzh.

That is an odd one , and I doubt it's factory odd.

There was a lot of weird stuff that they let out though.

And neck-thru, unlike vintage bolt-on 4080's.

I'm not a big fan of the boutique-y, "organic", stripey look. IMHO it can't hold a candle to a real 4080.

Oh man, the old RCA double neck. I remember this one. It's a beauty. I don't like gold hardware, but it works in this case. I've seen regular 4080s with similar asking prices FWIW.
