Is the updated pricelist the only announcement RIC is making at the show?

That would make sense, as announcing new models would cut into their plan to reduce the backlog, and the price increase will cut down on new orders.

Ben had already said on the RIC website forum not to expect any new models, options or colors for 2007.

Here are some pictures that I took at the NAMM show. I'll just post the links to the pics, so you guys can see them bigger and clearer. My photos do not do justice to how great the guitars look. Some of the guitars and the 4004Cii's had really nice figure in the wood that does not show in the pics. The current Midnight Blue just blew me away with how great it looks. My camera did not capture the right hue. I wish I had one on order right now!

Jaymi, you just have to see the current Midnight Blue in person to see how really sweet it looks.

My camera kind of picked up some of the very nice pattern in the wood of this 650.

Whoa, that Trans Green looks great, almost like a dark, forest green.

Great pics Joey!

Cool pix! I'll see them myself on Saturday!

Are all the pretty colored ones facing the inside of the exhibit so casual passersby don't see them?
