Sorry, Paul. I should have advised you. I sent it Fedex ground from Chicago last Thursday. I couldn't find a UPS place handy. They said around 5 days delivery.

The tracking number is 468424622555258 and it's addressed to your office in your name.

Hope it arrives soon!

Aitch stopped by, whilst he was in London. It was great to see him again. We downed a few pints, the late night whiskey drinking was a bad idea though!! My liver needs a rest now

Here's a few pics of Aitch trying some for size

Hmmm. Don't you think you have way too many acoustics (and guitar in general), eh, Gr... i mean Graham?

Nice doggie.

Graham, I think that your amazing collection would be quite a "finale" to Aitch's world tour of Rickenbacker friends. I hope that you took precautions on the journey to where your guitars are stored, i.e. blindfold him in the car park, spin him round three times before he got into the car, etc.. After all he is from Australia

I can only presume that Graham took an inventory BEFOREand AFTER the photo shoot. With so many Rics, it would be very easy to miss one after downing a few pints.

Graham, on the coffee table there are one or two cups of tea, a copy of the Rickenbacker book and a box of tissues. I can understand the tea and the Rickenbacker book, but...

I daren't ask!!!

Actually, it looks like the pup is looking for "his pint".

BTW, is that JG a 730L or a 730S?

Pete............I always admire your eye for detail

Richard......it's a 730s

Wow, look at those smiles--Aitch looks like he's in heaven!

Graham, your collection is absolutely unbelievable. Indeed, I think that was a very fitting way for Aitch to end his worldwide Rickenfriends tour!

That's very kind Melissa, but Aitch made it quite clear that the highlight of his trip was the people. The guitars were great, but Aitch said he just didn't stay long enough with everyone. Which I think is really cool!

Hey, he's a cool guy! And my guess is the box of tissues was for 'Aitch when he shed tears of joy over the Rick overdose!

Graham, I see you are a conservative collector - you always get one or two or three extra for backups!

No, the tissues were for Aitch, when I told him the prices
