1970s Fantom RB-500B Rickenbacker 4001 Copy (MIJ) (OHSC + Candy)

1970s Fantom RB-500B Rickenbacker 4001 Copy (MIJ) (OHSC + Candy)

Another supremely wicked offering from the Matsumoku factory of the 1970s (think Greco, Guyatone, Teisco), Fantom was one of the lesser known brands offered by the guitar powerhouse of manufacturing and specialised in bolt-on versions of major guitar brands and models, including Rickenbacker. This is a 4001 copy and is simply epic, featuring a 3 piece neck, birch body and vintage Maxon pickups pumping out some epic tones.

We've given this one the love it deserves with a full fret dress, setup and restoration to ensure it plays at it's peak performance for many years to come. It's currently slung with 45-100s and has a new Switchcraft jack socket and has had a full setup. It's playing silky smooth and sounding huge! Comes with it's original fitted case, strap, cable and accompanying paperwork.
