This is a 2006 Rickenbacker 4003 in lustrous Midnight Blue. It has the push/pull switch on the treble tone pot to switch between the vintage and modern tone circuits. Some minor playing wear (see, e.g., headstock pictures) but overall it's in very nice shape (the frets are fine).
The pictures show it equipped with a Hipshot aluminum bridge. Since the pics were taken it now has the original bridge back on it, but the Hipshot bridge is included. Also, astute Rick enthusiasts may note in the pictures that it has Dunlop strap lock buttons. They were installed very carefully using machine screws with the same thread as the Rickenbacker strap buttons, so the holes are unmolested. (Rickenbacker strap buttons are not simply screwed into the wood; they are more like bolts that go into holes actually tapped into the maple.) Actually, it now has the stock Schaller-type strap buttons, but I will include the Dunlops and screws.
Finally, the stock pickup cover (sort of visible in the first picture in the case) is also included. Original molded hardshell case. $1550 shipped to the lower 48, or $1475 shipped without the extra bridge. Discount for local pickup in Chicago.
