For any other Smiths fans out there, I stumbled across this cool documentary on Youtube the other day:

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Thanks, Kira! No worries on the addiction part, I know I've got many more years to clutter up our apartment. And I've got enough Ricks to enjoy myself for quite some time.

PS. I love your avatar. Is there a larger version available? We've got three cats, but I try to keep them away from the guitars!

Nice guitars, Brian!

But ... I am sorry to say, it is an addiction ...

And a lot of us have it! :) 8)

I was afraid of that, but I suppose admitting you have a problem is the first step. Towards what, I'm not sure, as I know I'll get more in the ...

Thank you sir. I'm most pleasantly surprised by the 250. I'd never played one before and I'm really impressed by the sound and the action on this one. Plus, I love the color and the body style.

Well put. Though I believe it is now a fully flowering enthusiasm.

And Ben, giving in has been way too easy...

After coveting Rickenbackers from afar for many years my wife was nice (awesome really) enough to buy me a 360 for my 35th birthday back in June. Since then I've come to the realization that I should no longer go on eBay after coming home from dinner/drinks. Luckily she has let me keep my recent ...

Thanks again all. Sorry for the delay, but I was out of town.

Yes, Jay, I'm a huge Belle & Sebastian fan. In fact I asked my wife to marry me the night she told me she was flying me out to see them play with the LA Philharmonic for my birthday.

For several of you, yes, she has a sister, but I'm ...

Mr. Graffiti,
Without question, your wife impressed us all...good stuff. I have yet to meet the girl of my dreams, so I've had to buy all my own gear. However, no wife and no kids, yet, means I've got a lot of guitars! Luckily, my habit didn't become something incredibly expensive like motorcycles ...

Oh yes, LRP was the first REM album Peter's six string really shined. The 360 will treat you well if you gel with it. 8)

And if you're interested, I remastered LRP and Document for some fellow REM fans on OurREM. My version is different than the new one. :)

I'd definitely be interested in ...

Thanks all! I've been lurking for a while and it's nice to finally be able to have something to post. And yes, both the guitar and my wife are most definitely keepers!

I used to play guitar back in college and recently decided to get back into it. My wife, knowing that I've been obsessed with Rickenbacker guitars since I first heard Life's Rich Pageant, decided to spoil me. So for my 35th birthday she got me a 360/6. Yes, I believe I may have the coolest wife ever ...
