Good to hear, Stan. Hope they "do the job" on the night! Where abouts in Colorado?

Been playing Ricks for 11 years now, and I'm still not 40.

My first ric was my wife and friends thirtieth birthday present for me in '98 (a '96 360 MG bought in France). Since I have bought four more and have one on hold. For a while, I flirted between gretsches & rics, but, in the end, I concentrate on rics.

I got my first guitar when I was 16 years old .. a 1967 or 1968 (memory fades on the date now ) Telecaster .

My second guitar was a Rick 12 string ...I have neither ...wish I knew where they both were .

Third guitar was a Gibson Firebird VII ...what a sound that had ... loved the neck . (Jeff Ridolfi can I buy it back? )

I am 51 now

Got my first Rick, a December '72 Fireglo 4001, in October 1979. I'm 48 1/2 now.
Got my last (for the time being) Rick, an August 1970 21 fret Mapleglo 4001, a couple of months back.

I had drooled over a 360 for many years but didn't get one until 1986 at age 33. I was playing an Ibanez LP copy at the time and walked into a NH guitar store and was absolutely smitten by the dark ruby-red 360/6 that had just been put on consignment. I didn't have the spare cash laying around at the time to afford the whopping $550 pricetag, but somehow I got it together.
