Intro and looking for advice on a new/used Ric

[ajish4]

Hey Kevin,

I think your right! I've often felt like that! No offence taken.

Why Jeff, that is real nice of you to offer....I take it you're the philanthropist of the group? I tell you what, they forecast any more hurricanes for my area next year and you just may get a phone call!

I'm leaning heavily towards a new Maple or Natural 4003 or a 4003 FL. I have some time; I'm still working on the Mrs anyway!

I like the rounded shape of the 4004CI, but those pickups just turn me off. I can't help it, I like the CLASSIC look. I guess I'm just getting old.

Then again, when do the 2006 models come out?

"You have to spend money to make money"

"you have to believe in me, and take a leap of faith with me".

These are my favorites with the wife.

They really are true statements.

You'll probably want to wait to see what Mr. Hall has up his sleeve for the anniversary release/model/finish..... It won't be long now before we know just what it is. There will be a blizzard of orders for whatever it is, I'm sure.
But then again, it'll be collectable like the CS, so you won't feel safe taking that out too much either. Best of luck with whatever you choose

My wife is a believer.

She saw 4 CS's that I purchased for $950.00, and sold for $2500.00, it's obvious of the value of Ric's.

I just wished I still had them.

She was even on board when I recently tried to buy a LK for $8,000.00

Is there any way to order a new one from the factory with the neck shaved ? The new ones have way to big of a neck for me . I still believe that in alot of ways there the finest the company has made however.

Nope
