GREAT!!! Thanks John.

Does this mean that we can buy directly from the Ric site & does this apply to exchange TRC's?

Good news indeed.

A much more balanced distribution solution.

The old one had been responsible for some degree of resentment..

As the message says, the policy allows DEALERS to sell parts and accessories- there's no announcement that we're going to sell parts internationally and have no plans to do so for a variety of good reasons.

I'll also point out that many dealers won't be aware of this policy for months, no matter how many ways we tell them, so you can always refer them to the website announcement if they question your order.

I´m nearly wordless.
Thank you so much!

You didn´t let us down.

So...if any-one already knows the dealer, who sells via "web", please put the address up here.

Whoopee!

Here you go, Mika:

Mike Parks' The Rickenbacker Page:

http://www.the-music-connection.com/ricpart.htm

Effective immediately.. all parts are available to ship worldwide! We have most of these parts and accessories in stock... US shipping is typically 2 days via US Postal Priority Mail ($6) Foreign Shipping is $15 via International airmail

Obviously, Mike has lost no time in getting on track with the new policy! Mike covers most of the parts one might need, and is a great guy to deal with.
