Seems a little pricey but I've NEVER seen a lefty in this colour.

He said Craigslist took it down. He listed same ad in a few places. I think he is in Jersey.

There was a Ruby Red Rick listed on Gbase a while ago in a very similar worn look. That was the only other ruby red I've seen. It also had the same black pickguard treatment. I wonder....

BTW, apparently Rick offered a ruby finish (1980-85) AND a Red finish (1985-99) at one point, not to mention the more maroon colored Burgundyglo (which I have). I've always followed this page as a reference for all things Rick pertaIning to colors/serial number info:

Yea, this site is also a great reference for parts. I sent this link to a friend when he was rebuilding a Rick.
