Peter:

As I was waiting on-line for a conference call that never ended up happening, I thought it would be a good time to finally enter my Rickenbackers into the Register. More from California, in assorted styles and colors ...

You'll love it for sure - I have a 4003 AFG. It of course sounds and plays beautifully, but it's truly stunning with the AFG finish. I'm fast coming to the conclusion that AFG is the best Color Of The Year.

Thanks everybody - sorry for the low res quality of the picture. It looks better on my web site (web.mac.com/desilva).

I saw it in the store on Monday, but I didn't have any time to play it, so I figured I'd come back and check it out on Tuesday. Tuesday became Wednesday and sure enough, it ...

Jerry:

A belated congratulations! I'm glad you finally got the beauty - also good call to wait for Gary as I'm sure the guitar was perfect when it arrived.
