Burgundyglo with Ebony FB and CP Inlays

Electro Dale · January 14, 2011, 08:18:20 PM

Sweet looking restoration. Replaced the FB that had been replaced long ago, this time with Ebony and CP inlays. Eggplant finish with B/W checkered binding, gold guards, truss rod cover and red side dots.

And an F model project that will be completed soon with more pictures.

Again, exceptional workmanship...

What's the work that gives you the most pleasure, Dale...? what instruments do you enjoy working with the most, excluding your own designs...

This can be yours for a very economical price. It is a Lefty done in a dark Burgundyglo that is also referred to as "Eggplant" A 1974 model 3001 Rick neck that I made a custom body for, double bound body shape of a 330, 2 toaster type p-ups, 4001 type bridge, pickguard and standard controls. $1,250.00 includes 48 state shipping with insurance. I Do Not have a case for this although a 4005 or Gig Bag case will work. This was aproject that I started over 2 years ago and health issues caused the customer to cancel this. Email me for more pix.

At the moment, I am SO GLAD that I am not a lefty. That fact might BE SAVING My marriage as I type.

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Ditto that! I'd be on that one like a cheap suit if it was a righty...

...and the cruel irony is that I am left handed! (but couldn't play that way to save my life

)

Beautiful work on that 4001 too!

The Seafoam Green was a refret and refinish of a fairly new 4000 Rick that was Mapleglo. It belongs to a really nice fellow in Queens New York. I did a trade for the work done on the Bass. He sent me a great condition Silvertone 1474 Twin Twelve Reverberation Amp that was built in 1961. These are one of the best amps IMO that I've ever heard. I had one that my Father bought me new in 1961 from Sears & Roebucks that I played his 1953 Tele through. I was in a Surf Band back then and it was the best amp for the money and besides we couldn't afford a Fender Twin. I am happy to have found this one because it's almost a 9 condition on a scale of 10, sound wise it's an 11. My 1966 Gibson 330 sounds amazing through it. OK, enough about the Silvertone. Here is a link to the Amp.

Beautiful work Dale! I think Ric has some of the most attractive designs going and most of them could make beautiful basses if done in a hollow body style.
