Well done, my child. Sister Martha wishes you and your new love the best of times together.

They should offer a Pete Buck signature series Ric 360 JG, complete with trucker's playmate sticker! They had his down at the RIC factory for some time, maybe they were establishing the specs for the curves on the girl

Will post pictures on Saturday !!

Congratulations! Jetglo is a classic finish that you will treasure even more with time (I love my '94 4003 JG - as much now as back then!)

Alas, Jim, from Rhoads Music, found a hairline flaw where the finish was missing, near the curved edge of the guitar body. So, the order was cancelled. He seems like a pretty righteous dude, I'm glad he looked hard enough. So, I will have to wait for my precious axe. Maybe it wasn't meant to be? I could always go the MF route, but I like the personal touch of someone inspecting the guitar, if it can't be me.

So now I'm regretting putting my 360 up for sale. i'm tempted to go take it off consignment. There's just that matter of not having $1300 to keep both.

They're both so pretty, anyone feeling generous?

If you can't swing it, you can't swing it. No regrets, Dave, you love your JG 330, end of story! Funny, I will have the mirror image of this, MG 330 and JG 360. Just awesome guitars, they are ...

Just three, drink one, spill one, leave one.

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink, I get drunk, I fall down ... no problem.

I usually only have one 'beeyah' at a time (slab, that is!!). If you don't know what a 'slab' is, it's 24 cans (arranged 4x6) placed on a corrugated cardboard sheet and then shrink-wrapped. I can fit precisely 25 of them (unbroken) in the boot (trunk) of my car!!

Wonder how may cartons of Bud I could cram in there!

Don't ask me why, Howard, but 'slab' is only used here to refer to meat or granite...I can see we'll have to start a beer thread now. I used to drink nothing but decade-old frozen-and-thawed Bud in cans when I worked 'all the way down under'...couldn't wait to get to NZ for fresh beer that tasted like something. One year, right after getting off the ice, I went down to the military vet's bar in Cathedral Square in Christchurch. Hung out with the 'blokes' at the bar, and they 'shouted' me the first several rounds. I knew it was my turn to return the gesture and spoke up, at which point they all whirled towards the bartender and yelled "Budweiser", and out came the imported cans...I paid like $6 US apiece for them damn things! The pitiful irony of it all...serves me right for being a 'Yank', I s'pose...

No, Dane....... serves you right for going to Christchurch!!

Wouldn't have happened in Auckland........

In Canada, a cardboard "case" of 24 bottles of beer is affectionately known as a "two-four". I guess it's too cold here for us to be creative!

And, sometimes, you get a gift inside every "two-four", like a coolie or a t-shirt or something! ahh....Labatt & Molson.
