New Rickenbacker 4003's for under $1600 USD

Sign in to disble this ad
As many of you already know, mf is having another one of those generic President's day sales. Just for the heck of it, I put a Rickenbacker 4003 in my shopping cart and entered the promotion code "George", which took off 15%($277) bucks off the order, the final price came out to $1,572, which imo is a DAMN GOOD deal for a new fireglo Ric.

The only downside seems to be that they are not currently in stock, but mf states that it is awaiting a "2/28/11" shipment...don't know how reliable that info is, considering i've been d**cked around by mf in the past, concerning the accuracy of those "estimated" in-stock dates.

Anyway..just giving a heads up to anyone looking to pull the trigger on a new Ric anytime soon, this promotion code will only last till monday...which means I will def not have the dough by then

That is a great deal even with the backorder delay. I bought a Jetglo for $2100 (BassEmpourium) and the inventory was selling fast. Hopefully you wont have to wait long.....best of Luck

A Ric 360's big name store retail (MF, GC) price was $1400. The 4001 was $1600 through MF. In 2008 both went up to $2000.

You guys are lucky. Over here in Europe we tend to have to sell body parts for Ricks...

I own a 1975 Fireglo 4001 stereo Ric I bought new when I was 19 years old for about $550 with a hardshell case and tax included. That was a lot of money back then. One thing about Rics is that they usually go up in value if you don't destroy them. I assume they are just as well made as they were 35 years ago.
