I'll take the 20/20 in a boat race any day. Just more surface area for a nice powerful stroke.

Please keep your eyes open for my stolen 1973 Burgundyglo Rickenbacker 4001 Serial # MD1582. It was stolen in November of 2006. Reward for its return. Thx!

$599 and it's a DEVO signature model. That's more like it, and it probably will be better built than the originals. Not long scale though.

I ran into an ad for that in the current VG issue, but I didn't find anything new on the Eastwood site.............

I'm still thinking of cutting the bodywings of my '76 Tbird and '78 Rick. Much more ergonomic, lighter, more personal.

Hell, just get a new one. The 2015 I played had wings that didn't seem that far from falling off on their own

Bob nearly whacked me in the head with his 2X4 at Armadillo World Headquarters around 1980-ish.

That bass looks anorectic. In comparison, the 20/20 is Pamela Anderson.
