The iconic Rickenbacker 4001 in classic Mapleglo finish, with the original checkerboard binding that was a signature of this era. The tuners, nut, and neck pickup have been swapped out, but the original bridge pickup, pots, and bridge are still kicking.

The neck pickup was replaced and amateurly routed, but is fully functional.
