Thanks guys! We're always surprised to see how much people enjoy that song every time we play it! We get lots of positive comments and it's really fun to play... good vibes!

Here's an old video from 2005 of us playing that Ventures great hit... Funny that CBS came out with the show this year!
Hope you'll enjoy!

I'm still amazed today to hear people finding forgotten stuff in their atttics or closets. I wish I would have stored my my old 66 360 in a closet at the time instead of selling it because I had too many guitars!!! My only regret!! Well Billy, I hope you'll enjoy playing on your beautiful Capri!

Been away too long, for crying out loud. You guys are finally meeting in Canada, hurray!!! On the down side...I won't be able to make it on the 6th...bou-hou-hou! But you can be sure that I'll be watching for another one close enough though! I'm preparing for a tour in Afghanistan in july 2010 and I ...

Did you guys know by any chances that Sir Paul will be giving a free concert in Quebec city for its 400th anniversary next week (20th July 2008). I was away for a while and went straight to my good ol'forum to see wich of you guys would be in town next weekend but, SURPRISE!!!! No topics on it. So I ...

Maine, New England, New Brunswick... it's all close enough for me. Count me in!

Here's our band playing at the Quebec Airshow CFB Bagotville. For those of you who have a pretty good ear, we're playing in french with almost no accent!!! http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=O3LKXbQQFTM

In my part of the country, it's easier to call it a Ricken ! I guess it's fitting more the french way of speaking. And if I'm writing here, well I use Ric or Rick... But then the latter reminds me too much of my brother in law!!!

Here's a guitar exactly like mine and you can see the heel compare to the new ones!

I was looking everywhere in the music stores here in Québec city, then in Montréal and then in Ottawa to find a Ric strap to no avail! So I ordered it from Rickenbacker. And I gladly received it yesterday to find out that... they were made in Canada!!! A twist of irony perhaps! LOL http://archives ...

This is exactly what I was talking about Ken!! I'm glad to see that there are others like mine...I was starting to wonder about the authenticity of my guitar!!! Thanks Nick on the offer, I guess it won't be necessary anymore...but it's good to know for future reference! http://archives.rickresource ...

Fair enough to me, Mr. Hall. From now on I'll call it a Frisco! http://archives.rickresource.com/clipart/happy.gif
Paul, I don't think you understood what I meant, so I will try to take a picture to show you what I'm talking about. My vocabulary is limited since I'm french and I don't always ...

I have a 1992 650 in african vermillion. I bought it advertized as an Excalibur but only saw it later called a Frisco.
And there's 2 other things that are different from the models I have seen on pictures:
1. I only have one truss rod instead of two!?
2. The part where the neck attaches to the ...

I sure would like to try that 480 of yours,Peter! But for the blues, if I compare my 330 and 360 to my 650S, I must say that the 650 beats them for the sound and for the neck action.
You should agree too after trying it in Tadoussac!!!

Hey Peter...I did not forget and it will happen. I'm now a new resident in Québec city ( was transfered in september). So I'm getting closer and closer to Fredericton... you never know when this frenchman will show up! Besides the Rics that I will bring, I'll pack the brand new Hofner my wife gave ...
