Jared, now that's what I'm talkin' about. I'm holding off on my next Rick until that color comes back! (Ok, I only have 2, but since white isn't in the future, apparently, I can feel good about not wanting another).

I think white on white in the S body style so the fretboard had the dots would be so friggin' classy looking. Serious GAS.

Andrew...who you callin' a Goth boy?!

I've never worn mascara in my life....

To each his own, like they say...it does make perfect sense to me that a guy named Winter would prefer white...

Fortunately, there's a Rick color for every personality. (Well, there will be as soon as they make a green one...right, Sheena?)

Uh. Right you are, Dane! Image
Cool pic, BTW. Impressive, to say the least. But smoking is bad for health (i know it from my own experience...). Kiddin'.

All of my Ricks are JG. It just turned out that way for some odd reason. I love them all but I don't think I would represent the Goth community too well either Andrew. I know my friend Dane does not fit in either.

Sheena, thanks for the advice...yeah, I know it's a bad habit. I'm gonna have to give serious attention to quitting (tobacco, anyway) before I develop a case of 'Jetglo Lung'...

The way my luck goes, though, the day after I quit I'll be run down by a bus...

Wrong answer Kris. Good try though. LOL It seems every time I settled on buying a certain model (in the used market) a JG would pop up at a price that I could not turn down.

Now why does that happen I wonder? If only a 350SH would fall into my lap the same way.

Dane, after having been in Antarctica, having fell from trees and knocked your head against the door, you're still afraid of busses?!
Just kiddin', of course. But a JG Rick is better than JG lung. IMHO.

What??? Just the guitar, Brian? I'd want her to be holding it while it fell..... Image

Dane: Murphy's Law always applies. That's why I'm scared stiff of giving up...... there's a bus out there somewhere with my name etched into the grille! Or a train, or tram, or old lady with a wobbly-wheeled shopping cart...........

Howard: doesn't every musician dream of a bus with their name on it?

Are you calling me a musician, Dane? How dare you insult real musicians!

A hacker like me may have his name on a garbage disposal truck...... if he's lucky!! Image

I know, I know...There always an exception...or two...to the rule.

I forgot JL and GL had black Rickenbackers...

Now, the rest of you...back to your mascara...
