Well we won't expect to hear from you for a while Dimitris, you'll probably be strumming all day and all night. LOL

Very nice guitar BTW. Congrats again.

Nice....

It looks so shiny and new I can almost smell it.... Mmmmmmmm, nothing in the world smells as nice as a brand new Ric.

And of course, nothing is more fun to play!

Stunning guitar!

I tried to rationalize buying another Ric to go along with my 381, but the wife didn't go for it.
The reasons I gave to pick up a Ric this holiday season:

1. What am we waiting for, Christmas?
2. It's Fireglo, the colour of Santa.
3. No-one should be alone at Christmas, even 381's.

Oh well, maybe for Valentine's Day...hey, it's Fireglo, the colour of St. Valentine!
How much!?!

Thanks again! The only 'problem' is that she looks MUCH better than the photos. It is almost impossible to capture fireglo cause it looks quite different in relation to the light conditions.

Oh, and it is her first gig (not smthing big of course) on Wednesday. I hope she won't steal my 'thunder' or something... lol

Well... good luck to your baby on her first gig, Dimitris! Let us now how it was, ok?

A truly gorgeous guitar there Dimitris! Congratulations!!

Don't worry about the "pinky" coloring, in years to come they will all be begging for one the same!..LOL
