Indeed. According to Noel, Weller gave it to him on his 30th birthday.
In an interview not so long ago Weller said he had hardly any Riccys left from the Jam days, as he'd sold or given away most of them. It would be very interesting to know where they've all gone. I know where "I Am Nobody" is, and "The Boys", and we know Noel Gallagher has the white one and Steve Cradock has the all-black one. But where did the others go? Anyone know? For example, legend has it that "Carnaby Street" eventually became "Whaam" - can anyone verify this? And where is "Whaam" now? I'm guessing Weller still has that one (he's playing it in the promo video for Peacock Suit). But there must be a couple more FG 330's, and the red one he's playing in the promo for "In The City". Then there's the maple one.
Anyone got a list of all the Riccys Weller had during The Jam? I once saw a photo of them all together. There must have been a good dozen of them.
. Craddock just gets better and better, when I saw him in May he played with such ease. The scratch plates on that guitar have white edgeing, how's that?
