Just got my 4003 ordered, but I forgot to ask about the case. My first new Rick! Can't wait (but I'll have to)!

The reason for no lefties and no 12-stringers was specifically so these could be completed this year. The models were also carefully selected so they could "tag along" with regular production.

What would be the point of having a 75th anniversary model delivered in the 76th year?

That's what I was hoping to hear John! You've made my day!

Can you say what type of case will ship with these?

I am really excited to get my first new Ric. You guys are the best!

Cool.

Also, this is an added value to justify the price (for those that were complaining), if the guitars are getting out THIS year!

It's like paying a premium to get one within FOUR months instead of having to wait 18 months.

And it looks stunning!

Has anyone heard if the Anniversary guitars will come with a certificate or not?

I would hope so, for the price. It's kind of funny how after the 75th Anniversary models were announced, RIC has been fairly quiet about them since...

I'm STILL hoping they come with a certificate.

No certificate is my bet and I reckon they'll ship with the SKB case as well.
