Description
In June 1981, this Rickenbacker 4005 was resprayed from its factory finish to Autumn Glow. Purchased new in 1982 from A & D Music, Wangaratta, it has had one original owner. Electronics remain untouched and original. The bass shows some fingerboard checking, minor cracks in the fret markers, and a couple of knocks on the front, but overall it looks and plays beautifully for a 44-year-old instrument.
