This is the 4th Ric I've owned, and I thought it was a keeper, but as usual something new and shiny has appeared on the horizon, so off it goes!

Bought new by me from Thomann in 2016, it's played a few gigs and done a few jam nights, but mainly stayed in its case and been looked at lovingly. The band I'm in needs my Jazz, and not the raw growl of this beastie. The contoured S body shape is much more comfortable to play over any length of time, and the oiled walnut body looks superb.

It's totally stock - even got the original strings. The case candy is unopened, and the pickup guard has never been taken off. There are a couple of tiny marks on the bottom, and the case has a few scrapes - but that's what it's there for. The pickup selector is a bit stiff, through lack of use - I always have it in one position for full roar - but works fine. It has the push/pull tone switch to give a 4001-u-like treble cut, but I always preferred it in 4003 position.

£1950 gets it couriered to a UK mainland address

£1850 if you collect it from Truro, Cornwall, or meet up somewhere within 100 miles of there - I will need a deposit for a meetup, unless you have super feedback on here 🙂

Bank transfer preferred please, but never say no to good old cash.

I've not sold much on here for a while, but check out my feedback, if you have any doubts
