Here are three pictures of me. Two with my Rick 360/12 CW and one of my Gibson 1970 SG Standard with Maestro tailpiece. It IS Rickenbacker related, as the price of a new Rick in 1970 was so high my dad could not afford one AND an amp. So he got the SG. If only he had gotten the Rick... I never let him forget it! You need to click the links to see them, as I cannot figure out how to shrink them.

Hey Gary - that's actually an intentional distortion we used for our "album" cover...kinda Rubber Soul-ish, but entirely lacking in the elusive qualities of genius and salability...

Ben - nice pix! Cheers from one 360/12CW owner to another. What number is yours? And did you get it at the Great House of Guitars??

Steve, yes that is where the tie came from.

Chris, my Carl Wilson is #305 and was born June 26, 2000. All of my purchases have come from the GREAT House of Guitars. Lately, though, they have been bumming me out because they moved the Rick display into another area and seem to down play them a bit. I think they are just upset that they ordered the 360/12c63 too late to get it first. Oh well. Maybe Andy is just busy and such. When I approached him about ordering a Blueburst, he told me that the HOG never ordered any. That shocked me too.

Jeffrey, that doesn't look like someone else. It looks like you...

Andrew: A good one. RJ, a nice photo but do spare us the "lighter-fluid performance" though.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
