Welcome to the forum, Karlo. Burgundy was a transparent red finish that was available in '75. Ruby was a solid metallic finish that was not available until about '80. This is my 4001FL Burgundy. You can see the figured pattern in the maple.

I changed the control knobs to the vintage style and if you look closely I also swapped out the neck higain for a toaster pickup.

I just scored my first BG Rickenbacker myself a few months back. It is a 2002 Burgundy 620 which was the last time RIC produced the colour. http://www.rickresource.com/register/vi ... ine%3DtrueThe RRF is a cool place to hang out, many of us are on both forums... And the register is an amazing tool to research RICS...
