Not very familiar with Ricks so I have to trust your judgement! What gives it away? The color? The shape? |

The top body wing appears to curve towards the top like a Fender, which is not something RIC has ever done. The top edge is rounded like a 4003s, but it has binding like a 4003, which the 4003s does not have. The color is not a color RIC has ever made. The closest thing they ever made to it is a blue burst, but that was the 2005 color of the year, not 2012. It could be a custom finish, but surely the seller would have mentioned that, as well as the mirror pickguard. The toaster in the neck would be a modification - also not mentioned. The bridge pickup cover is too tall and square The fretboard is too dark. It should be bubinga. The inlays are upside-down and are not full-width, which is not correct for 2012. The headtock wings should be walnut, and therefore substantially darker than the center. RIC has not used maple headstock wings for years. |

Now we're talking to a guy who knows the Ricks! I had the chance to score my first Rick at a decent price in midnight blue, but it had a very high action so i took it to my luthier so he could take care of it and he ordered a new set of truss rods from the pick of the Ricks and i took the chance to order the push pull pot since my 4003 is made 2002. so it's been sitting there for about a month cause he's very busy so i didn't had the chance to enjoy it yet! Can't wait to try it out...! |

Thx Paulo, you know your subject! Now, I'll know where to go to verify if my Rick is genuine or not, should I decide to buy one one day
