I think that is wishful thinking Niall. Once you have your hands on a Rickenbacker it's all over but the crying...as you buy another one and another one and so on, of course.

You had best start saving for the second one for your daughter. LOL

Whatever you do, Niall, don't let her fall in love with one of those cheesy Daisy Rock ones!

Would the Fender be full size or one of those 3/4 jobbies made in Indonesia?

Don't suppose you'll be anywhere near London on October 9 to 11. It would be great to meet up! Image

Melibee, Jeremy is an accomplished guitarist, pianist and drummer, however he usually picks up his double-bound Gibson Flying V, rather than a Rickenbacker. I'm workin' on him though!

That is so cool, Darren! How old is he?

I wish I could get my kids to share my love of music.... right now I can't seem to pry them away from the TV and computer games (sigh).....
