Phenomenal set of pics, Paul! Good on ya for taking them, and for Ric for letting them be taken.

Dang, those should go up on the official site!

Excellent pics! It's great to see the LK's close to completion....only about 12 more though?....I thought there were more than that waiting. Did they say what Lemmy's bass was in for? Just a tune up? Just curious and I expected it to look more "beat" than that.

Very cool....thanks for sharing and I am sooooo jealous !

Dat's me beside the Lemmy wings ... looking at them in close up each one is unique, the carving is very intricate.

Steve, we only saw the one Blueburst, but it was covered in a plastic wrap, and only the headstock was visible.

Why all of a sudden am I'm thinking of the movie Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory? I'd pass up on the Fruitie-Tooties just to have a tour of the Rickenbacker factory.

Tell me, would someone turn into a large blueberry if they picked up a Blueburst off the assembly line to take a few strums?

I took a tour of the factory in 1986 i think,Brian Carmen[head of manufacturing] took me through cause i begged him,i don't know if its the same building or not. look at the pic. of the guy putting on the binding ,time consuming,wonder why they take so long

The two confluences held this year have obviously been great experiences for not only those who attended but also those who have viewed from afar with envy.

I applaud all who have worked to put them together and sincerely hope that there's an underlying drive to keep them going. If not every year, then so be it. It's very clear that there is a genuine love of the 'brand' and its adherents. It's wonderful to observe and feel the 'vibes' that you guys are generating over there.

I am so jealous of you all, I'm turning green. (turquoise, actually!).

More comments and pics, please!!
