LOL!

It was a visual, Melissa...

I'm getting into the habit of clarifying most of my posts these days...... too much ambiguity if I'm not careful!!

I'm just curious, no matter what the model or models are to celebrate the 75th anniversary, will we be able to order and receive them during the 75th year? Just an honest question. It seems the way the process works now, we won't see the 75th year models until RIC's 77th or 78th anniversary. Thats fine with me. I am ok with how RIC works, its just a question. Any thoughts?

A doubly honest question!! ..... and a reasonable one at that......

I just wonder if those Frying Pans are non-stick...

My thought on what John has said are:
A) either there will be NO 75th anniversary model (hence his remark about no binding whatsoever, since there will not be a model to bind...) or
B) It will be a return of the "S" models. Paul's has been done, Squire's done, hmmmm....I'm thinking of something...but...
C) I sure would love to see a Capri or the 360F again. SWEET guitars.

Brian, you raise a fair question. I ordered this year's COY and have not recieved it yet. It's getting close to the end of the year. I know people who are waiting for their MB's still. Not complaining, but you raise a fair question.

It's always possible, if there is a 75th Anniversary Special Edition model, the production is completed on a limited number and distribution is the only matter left

One would think, in a perfect world, that the 75th Anniversary models are already ramping up and would start to be available in January

But we live in a very un-perfect world, to be sure!

If in fact there is any such model, we would already have produced some.

There he goes, stringing us along again.... any more hints, JH?

I love that, if in fact there were...

Always keeping us guessing

Steve, I guess you'll just be celebrating your BBR birthday twice this year--At least I hope still this year, for your sake!

My guess would be the 325. No binding, f-hole, and Mike Parks has a couple of one-offs.
