The 2050 is the one I've never seen in person, not that I've seen many of the others over the years. The whole series couldn't have sold well. Only one I ever saw and played new was a 220 guitar.

Don't think so. He had a 3001 which is the precursor of the 2000 series; same shape, different electronics. Details in The Book!

S/8 in Japan. Horrendous Clownglo but the seller says excellent playability and functioning truss rods. $4,298 BIN incl. pickguard sticker.

If I only had the foresight to buy up all those 70s yellowed white Rics that were selling for $500-$600 in the mid to late 90s.
