Non Ric acoustics

Post by BuddyDog »

Seems Ric acoustics are fairly rare birds, so do you have a non Ric acoustic (or even play acoustic)?

I'll start. I have a Seagull SWS Folk (serial #1) and a Yamaha AC3R.

A few. Martin D-45, HD-28, D-35 and D-18. And buried well below some bed in the house a rather tattered Fender acoustic.

I've got a newer Martin 000X1AE kicking around my house at the moment. It's a great acoustic and I've found myself playing it far more than electric these days. It also sounds great through my rig, and the pickup with some compression makes a sweet noise.

Besides the Ric 730S, my acoustic inventory includes a Seagull S6+ Folk, a Gibson J-45 Rosewood, and a Huss & Dalton OM Custom. I also have a Gibsom Flatrion mandolin. The H&D (pictured below) has become my workhorse. Since getting it a year ago, most of my other guitars sit quietly sit in their cases. The current rotation hanging on the wall are the Ric 1997, Collings 290, and the H&D.

BTW, there's nothing wrong with your browser. All of my acoustics are lefties. :lol:

Currently, a Larrivée LV-19 Special Vine Edition (very few made in 2002, only) but I am on the prowl for a replacement as this is too nice a presentation instrument to be banging on! It is promised to a friend of mine. at the moment.

Unfortunately all of mine have gone down the road. If I ever overcome this neuropothy I will get another. I recently sold my Larrivée D09 and Garrison 12 string. In the past I had a Guild D-40 (no pic). In the '60s I played a Stella that my sister had but I took over.

The best sounding acoustic I've ever owned is my '08 Martin D16RGT. I still have it and love it.

Sure! It's not a Rick, and it is acoustic (hey, you didn't say "guitar")...

And yeah, that is a Rick behind it...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I recently bought this! It plays really well, but it is super heavy, I need to put some lighter gauge strings on it as well.
It acutally sold for $297.00USD, I' had been looking for one at the right price for a while, so I pounced on the opportunity. It was a 6 hours left in the auction sale.
This is the exact instrument:
