It was especially photographed for this project by our own John Simmons. It's his '73, factory stock. A HONEY!

Paul,
The mug and t-shirt arrived Saturday, and both look fantastic. The mug is a real beauty, in that it is slightly larger than a normal coffee mug---quite macho, it is! Great choices all around. Nice packing, too.
Thanks a lot for all you efforts. You really did a wonderful job.

Well, I have finally received the mugs and t-shirts yesterday... And they arrived at the same time( guitar & bass). I should check the previous post to see how long I've been waiting after the customs to release the packages!
But they sur look good Paul. Very nice work and I'll be wearing it proudly!

Thanks, Dan, and everyone else who enjoyed this offering. This would not have been possible without the cooperation and approval of Rickenbacker's President and CEO, John Hall, who gave permission to use the images and logo script (John personally burned the logo CD for us). And, of course, Peter, who gives us space and keeps it all on an even keel.

Now's a good time to post a note:

The bass mugs will only be on sale until midnight PST tomorrow, June 15. (8 am GMT Thursday).

T-Shirts remain on sale until further notice. Get 'em while they fit!

I just purchased a Large and a XL

I am holding out hope the large will still fit, but I am taking no chances.

No mention of the fact that it's a 'forum' t-shirt, though.........

Less than an hour from San Francisco - could have been a Cafe Press staff "special"........

They are quite cautious about inventory control, speaking seriously. But, yep, it is right in their backyard. (They are on the peninsula S. of SF, right near the seller.)

The shirt looks used, doesn't it?

ozover50 · Post by **ozover50** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 10:43 am

It does indeed. Worn during a hot CA summer - hope it was washed!

Except we didn't have a summer this year to speak of...
