Reverb shop open for almost a year, no reviews, and only one listing. The photos have been compressed down to their very soul. In light of all that, this is a tall claim with a big number, but it just might be legit. I'll let the experts weigh in: Rickenbacker custom made 4001 Left-Handed 1974 white with white binding https://reverb.com/item/25858661-ricken ... te-binding

 Appears to have a likely fit for a '74. Strung E to the floor - that may be how the original lefty owner wanted it, although the ends of the nut may be damaged. A true lefty player will probably need to budget for a new nut. "Cigarette" burn suggests it was played left handed. I wonder if the horseshoe pickup has any life in it? |

The challenge I have is that the person selling is most likely not a store but a private seller (reverb makes you pick a store name), however all the pics are in a store. Could be legit but fully agree without any history that a high $$ to take a chance on. But then again, that bass.............................. it's killer! |

I don't know if it's just me, but why is the binding pulling away?! You can see it in a couple of the shots.

Good eye! Very hard to rule that out without better pictures. |

[quote="Upsidedown"] "Cigarette" burn suggests it was played left handed. That and there isn't any hole in the lower horn or on the back heel area of the neck for a strap button for a righty. |

I thought horse-shoe pickups were discontinued in 72 (73?) along with checkerboard binding? |
