Welcome Tuck Hersey

Welcome back and congratulations, Tuck.

The Rick scence in Japan is pretty huge. I went to Osaka in 2001 to purchase a 381 V69 FG and a 4003 FG from Mikki Gaki. They had over 10 new Ricks on display. I also had the time to explore some music stores and the quantity and variety they provided were just amazing. I believe those in Tokyo must be even more fascinating. It would be very nice if you could offer us a report on Rick culture in Japan or a tour of the guitar shops in Tokyo that are worth visiting?

Ric also made some models exclusively for the Japanese market. The 325/12V63, 360/12V65, 370/12V67 and 360V64 with f-hole in 12 and 6 string forms come to mind.

Don't forget that 4003 with CB, like the one on eBay that Dave Pasco is selling.

Thanks buddies and I'm sorry I haven't been able to drop by.
There has been a huge change in my life - getting back into the morning shift for the first time in 10 years at the radio station I work for and having to get things ready all by myself with only 2 hours of sleep for the past 2 weeks. Wheeewww! Too much work for a 48 year old.
Now I got everything going and I'm finally able to come here and see you guys to chat about music/instruments I've been in love with for 40 years.
This is such a cozy place and I'll try to share as much information as possible that I have from the other side of the Pacific.
