I went to the shop and saw the guitar.
It was really good! I ordered Black Solid-top,but The 1996Re is also good. It sounds more "Wood" feeling depend on the F-hole...
Mmmmm,I want both!!

This is the WITH shop in Tokyo, right? If you go back, please ask when they will have more of George Harrison's "Casino" straps...

FYI, the shipments to Japan this next year will have 30 degree (aka 2 o'clock) -F- holes, not like this one. Also, there's another feature of these (that's present in the photo) that I'm not going to talk about until next year.

Richard: I've owned (3) 3/4-scale Ricks ranging from '64-'80 and none of them had 3rd fret dots.

Richard: They all had the same dot arrangement shown here.
