Hiya, Yes, it is correct that it had been recovered by the police later and after insurance paid. Don't know the history after that but assuming all kosher. BTW, do not trust some of the pawn shops if you contact them about a stolen instrument. I had sent pics all around the midwest to pawn shops an...

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Hoping I see these again and in my hands - especially the 1993.

Thanks to Peter for the links.

The serials are:

Model 1993 12 string: CO9158
360WB: ZL3306

The worst piece of **** that could happen! My Model 1993 Sam Ash reissue was stolen some time in the last 2-3 weeks along with another Ric, a 360WB in Mapleglo. Please help me keep an eye out for them!

The shade of that SA 1993/6 looks exactly like the shade of my SA 1993/12. When I ordered it I remember Jimmy D. telling me that this FG shade was a custom finish also, an attempt to match the older 60s Ric shades, but I'm not sure from when he meant.

My pleasure! Thanks for the nice comments!

Nice pics, Frank. Curious, was it ever more "Red" in it's color or was that FireGlo always more towards the Autumn shading ? Did the finish age over time ? I really like that coloring. Thanks! You know, that's a great question. It's always been more of an 'Apricot' color as Jimmy D. at Sa...

I forgot how ironic the serial# was: CO 9158. My birth year is 1958!

That's cool; just watch out for the carbon monoxide.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I intend to take some photos under natural light but being winter in wisconsin right now, that won't happen for a few months. I have to say, it's tone has really blossomed over the last 20+ years. There really is something about aged wood. Originally, I found it ...

Well it’s been a while since I promised some new pics of my 1987 Model 1993 Re-issue and finally got around to taking them. I know a few of you have been reminding me so here they are. I hope Jake has a box of Kleenex handy! Rick1993_6_1280.jpg Rick1993_2_1280.jpg Rick1993_7_Exc1280.jpg Rick_1280.jpg

Yeah, awesome Marshall! Thank you! The cartoons are a hoot. Haven't seen those for many a year.
