I love mine, hope you enjoy it (and no banana)
The pickup on these are great.
I had both at one point, the 2202 (single pup older version) sounded much better IMO.Thanks. I was more looking at the 2 pickup version, but for the money I think this will be better fun experiment.
This is just a 4004 with an added pickguard. Like the photo I've attached. Looks kinda goofy this way (and has extra holes from the pickguard screws), but certainly a good deal as long as everything works, neck is straight, etc.I know nothing about (and have no interest in) Rickenbackers but this one's the cheapest I've ever seen, though clearly something's weird about it. The bridge, the controls, the inlays.....Maybe it's supposed to be like this or maybe it's modded but here it is:

Although if my cursory Google search was accurate, 1979 would be the earliest:
