Lilysav isn't exactly talking it up massively though!

I'm not into these Rics personally. I'm sure they're great guitars but I'm more of a traditionalist myself

Is this bit true or just typical sales nonsense?

"The guitar was never offered in midnight blue to the public, but some were made as gifts from Rickenbacker to clients."

I'm pretty sure Melissa has one of these in this colour too!

I must admit, that I thought I'd seen these in Mid blue before....
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

I believe Melissa's is a 220 Mid. Right Melibee?
Was it a Curmudge Mid?

Whoa! Not now, Aitch..... not now!!

If I like the 'feel' of it after I've played one I might enter the market. Nice colour........
