Thanks Guys, just good to know I'm not going blind.

Hi All,
Is this kosher? The neck inlays look way too narrow (and white) to be genuine:

Good points Jeff,
I just put some GFS Memphis pickups in my Gretsch. GFS touts them as 'Rickenbacker-like' and that they are - plenty of jangle and shimmer, give them a clean boost and they're very similar to Hi-gains. But what I've become much more interested in is their own unique sound.

They ...

H-gains in a Ric 6 are perfect fro New Wave, the Jam, The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, Blondie etc etc - They have a spacey shimmer that makes them great for atmospheric rhythym picking, but they also have real bite for melodic leads...

Yes H, the only time I've seen any player allegedly fouled who's smiling on the way down and appealing for the penalty before he hits the turf... and I stayed up til 3.00am to see this!

Still, if the Aussies couldn't score for 40 minutes playing against ten men they probably wouldn't have done ...

He and Mark Volman (Eddie) did backing vocals on a few T. Rex hits in the 70s.

Yes, she had a hit a couple of years back with Sway and a local one with "Get Some Sleep" and her third album shows she's maturing as an artist. Great Stuff!

So did anyone here get it?

That's cool Howard. So, how many new Rics are you bringing back with you, or have you been able to resist temptation entirely?

How do I change my email address in my profile?

I'm happy to sell to the US, UK, Canada etc, or is Howard looking for a 660TP?

Just came across a new English band 'Editors', not unlike Joy Division to my ears. The lead guitarist Chris Urbanowidz - plays a Ric 620/6 - gets a great sound from it too. Check them out here:
