NGD: 1967 Ric 450 Sonic Smith Tribute

Nothing about this guitar is original or vintage, except the body and TRC. The pickups are 70s Gibson tarbacks, and everything else is new. The 450 feels like a feather weight maple SG. This specimen started as a 12 string. I didn't convert it--I just cleaned it up and painted it. Because of the headstock mods, I went with black instead of natural. There are seam marks where the ruts were filled. There is also a finish seam along the back (shown in the tree and sky reflection).

That is a fantastic guitar - well done.
