Nice!

I always wanted to get one and do a large back route and cover it with PG material so it would be better lighter (but not unblanced)

I've seen some extravagant 'lightening' of T-40's. Those pu's do sound good though... FTR, my basswood bodied custom bass weighs under 8lbs. Best of both worlds! :bassist:

O-H

That’s my dream guitar. I dreamed about it back in the 90s. 20-25 years later when I finally made enough money to buy something like this I made it come true. I found a carcass of a 1980 4001 and spent a year finding the exact parts I wanted on eBay and reverb. Then I sent it to a guy in Atlanta named Larry Davis. All Larry does is restore and customize Rics. He’s amazingly talented. Larry is retired and only takes on 4-5 projects a year and puts his all into every one and no two are ever alike.

The pic I posted is in a studio called Sonic Lounge in Columbus and is also the only time it’s ever not only been out of my house but out of my office. My band mates couldn’t believe I brought it but I always told myself I’d risk getting a scratch on it to record. They also like to hassle me if the guitar is ever discussed (in a bad fake English accent) “This one’s never been played. It still has the tag on it. No don’t touch it. Dot even look at it.”
