Ok....so I when I joined the forum I had a single rickenbacker. A 360 FG that I got for my 21st birthday. Now, I have 4. How did this happen????

Get out while you still can! It's only gonna get worse!

First of all, don't leave two of them alone at night. They have been known to spawn spontaneously.

Whoa, Alicia, if you keep going at that rate, you will have caught up with me in number of Rics in just two more months! Looks like a great start to a fine collection!

No way dude...I need to find an anonymous club or something. That tuxedo 320 is a definite candidate for Paul after I saw all of the amazing work he did on yours

I'm thinking of going vintage fireglo with gold pickguards, etc....hmm....

Sounds lovely.... If it's a refin you want, Paul's the guy to do it.... My two Paul W. refins are the centerpieces of my collection.

I know! You seem to have created your own trend: the purpleburst. Maybe you should have that copyrighted. "The Melibee Purpleburst". And then your band: The Purplebursts. I'll call you guys "the PB's" for short.

Yep.... My Purpleburst is a VERY special guitar. It was my first Ric, and is very close to my heart for many reasons....

I wish I had a band....and the time to be in one, LOL!

My "gig" is Sunday mornings with the worship team....once in a while I get to do solos or duets, sometimes I use my own songs....

Rickaholism.
Rickatosis.
R.A.S.(Ric Acquisition Syndrome)

...call it whatever you like...but YOU'VE got it, Alisha! If you're reading this, YOU probably have it , too.

And there is no known cure!!! I'm afraid it's with you for life!!!

It's a serious problem, Alisha... but a delicious one!

In my case, ten Ricks in less than 12 months....

Greg and Aitch, two of our Ozbrothers. (No, I DID NOT say "Oddbrothers". Is that what you heard?)

My count: 14 in 17 months.

And the kiddees are fighting. I have to keep #13 and 14 at my office, because #11 and 12 are still fighting over who's on top...

#9 wants new strings. #4's pots are itching again. #3 has flaking patches, #8 has a sore neck.

11 is sad because some of the others call him "clowny"...

It's like an asylum back there sometimes.

I think a little R.P. McMurphy would fit in nice with your collection Paul

I acquired my first Ric 5 months ago. I am now trying to convince my wife that our vacation to South Carolina needs a side trip to Lindenwold, NJ.
