Just excellent - many thanks for sharing this, as I always wamted to see it played well up close and you do a really fine job. Many thanks for sharing. I'd like to be able to play guitar even half as well as you can!
@MrIvanKite It says Mark Joseph (a mod wannabe), Bringing back those memories (which was his 2006 world cup song that no-one's heard of).
Epiphone made 40 LE dots with the same paint job, all given away as promo prizes and this Sheraton, which was Joseph's own guitar, that I bought from cash converters, after Joseph's career went down the toilet
@spitefulload Thats pretty awsome. how long until you get the 4003 painted, id suggest reverse fireglo if you ever saw it. It was an old rickenbacker experimental color. Then get checkered binding, a pre 74 style pickguard(gold) and a gold TRC, put toasters and a horeshoe on that and that would be beautiful! What would you do to your 4003?
@MrIvanKite I haven't got the 4003 anymore but the reverse fireglo sounds good - red in the middle of the body fading to natural round the edges? I know that the chequered binding is not easy to get hold of
@spitefulload I saw some on ebay about 5 months ago(the legit stuff) it was 30 dollars for a twelve inch strip. If i had a rick and extra money, i would have bought the whole box. There is a guy named dale fortune who does a really good job, full length sparklies and everything.
Just type this in on google: Rickenbacker 4003-to-4001 project. A step-by-step pictorial.
Really cool souning man, makes me wanna play it! :)
