Those two guitars look lovely, Rodney! How heavy are they? How do the necks feel? And, last but not least, how do they sound?

Thanks ! They are wonderful guitars. Well made and pretty light compared to my other RICs.
I am totally in love with the satin finish and the neck is so smooth to the touch (like an Ibanez). As mentioned in another thread, the "D" shape neck is not chunky and fits into my Asian hand comfortably.
Sound wise? :mrgreen: Jangly like all other RICs (but that depends what kind of amps you play it through).
I'm using a BOSS eBand in my office . Will try this with my Fargen at home over the weekend :D

Two?.....You *******!

I have never been jealous of anyone's guitar gear. Until now.
Amazing looking guitars. One would blow anyone away, but the two side by side is beyond stunning.
Congrats and good luck.

Please, more pictures. There aren't many pics of the W series; they are a rare breed right now. Please post some more pictures of your beauties when you get time off from playing them.
