Puzzled, huh?

[sowhat]

Hmmm... i dunno, Paul - i just have my mailbox & photofile there... but it's 100% free, get the drift?
Yes, Brian... as soon as in mid-Summer... then more pics will follow (i hope i'll manage to get a camera somewhere by then)... pics of RIC from Russia...

Lord knows my lady's always looking for good schemes...

Oh, it's not too far. Hop across the Strait, a few days across Canada,... wait, nevermind.

Looks like a beauty.
I know how you feel regarding the wait. It was 3 months from the time I saw my first until it was paid for. I didn't even go in to play it, & it was here in the same town! I just knew it would have been more difficult if I'd picked it up & held it.
Well, that was 20 years ago now & I've got 3.
The first one is always treasured a little more.

Lovely, Sheena.... Ouch, you've got an awfully long wait ahead for your first Ric, but at least you know it is waiting for you! Congrats again!

[ozover50]

Congratulations, Sheena!! Looks great - just like mine.....

Looks like I'll have to hit the champagne again tonight!

Hopefully time will pass quickly and you'll be in possession of your new baby in no time.

Do you have an amp, BTW, or are they pretty easy to get?

[jps]

I almost bought one of those a couple years ago, I should have!

Do you have an amp?

[sowhat]

Thank you all, guys and gals...
No, i don't have an amp yet, i've played acoustics all my life... but i have plenty of time to chose an amp & be ready for arrival! There's lots of different amps in music stores... when i have some time free from work (dreams, dreams...), i'll go & try to chose the right one...

Some more pics from my Mom - this time, she has shrunk them to the size of thumbnails and unfortunately i cannot do anything about it...

[ozover50]

Size is not important, Sheena. The fact that it is your Rick is very much so!

They are a great looking guitar, aren't they?

[sowhat]

Yeah, Aitch... and they look better and better as Summer is closer and closer...
Now i wonder how it would look on me!

[ozover50]

It will look fabulous, Sheena. That shot you posted elsewhere of you standing up with the acoustic on stage almost appeared out of proportion. The much smaller 650 will look like it was meant to be. Perfect!!

[sowhat]

Well, in fact, that acoustic was pretty small, Aitch...
The next thing i have to do is find my checkered pants... huh

[j_gary]

Looks nice Sheena, love the maple neck.

Whats the story as to how you found her and made the deal?

Also, the checkered pants? Should I ask for that story?

[sowhat]

Gary: that's a long story... my Mom works in California, where RICs are easier to get, and it took me more than a year to convince her that i do need one & will recompense the cost... The deal was made via eBay, of course... about $700 + shipping... here, given you're very lucky, you'll get a 330 for about $1500-$2000...
Checkered pants... well... if you'll check July archives for "Post of picture of YOU playing your RIC" thread in this section, you'll know the story...
(for whom it may concern: it's just a joke, i just liked that checkered pants story... and i do like checkered pants - i have 2 pairs myself... somewhere...)

[string_along]

Don't them wild and crazy Festrunk brothers, Jorge and Yortuk, wear checkered pants?! Or are they plaid?
