Seven of each model is the correct number for the U.K.

What about Holland?

What about Norway, Mr. Hall?

I'm wondering if our European friends on the continent might have better luck contacting a dealer or distributor in Germany. Just a thought.

The allocation was based upon sales over the last two years. As such, all of those countries will have to share one of each type.

A very fair method of allocation Mr Hall.

Great job on the whole affair. Please continue your plan, as you have brought a lot of great new features for us these last couple of years.

The speculation and baiting was very fun, I hope we don't miss out on that the next time you have something special in store for us.

I thought you were sorted Lars?

Is there anybody from the UK who is still looking?

lars · Post by **lars** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 8:11 am

I have one in order Jon, but the distributor could not confirm yet, as they didn't know what they'll get. I know more about this model than they do... John Hall said: One of each model to "those countries". I don't know if he means Scandinavia (Luthman serves Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland) or Europe ex. Rosetti.
BTW In Rickenbackers website there is a funny little error:
In the list of international distributers Netherlands seem to have TWO distributers!
They have good ole Rosetti, AND ABmusic as they are included in Benelux (BElgium NEtherlands LUXemburg).

I know Europe is a long way from SoCal

, so I'm not sure what to make of John's statement...
I'll wait and see, and hope for the best...

Yes, I wasn't sure exactly what that meant.

In the UK, I found Rosetti pretty helpful. They let me know when to get the order in with a dealer. I chose a dealer very near to me - luckily he was really on the ball.

Anyway, I hope one makes it to Norway. When will you know?

Rosetti really came through for me too Jon. In the past I have felt mixed feelings about their customer care, but they have totally made up for that over the past week. Rosetti Rules...!

A couple of years ago I ordered some spare parts from Rosetti. A very good experiance! Nice folks.
