Are you annoyed by California's constantly evolving V.O.C. Regulations and do you believe the changes over the years to more environmently friendly refinishing products and systems has helped you put out a better and more durable finished product? And, or in someway has it been an hinderance due to added costs for refinishing products and equipment, training (ie. learning curve which results in re-do's) and safety gear which brings me back to the first question? Has it been an annoyance and do you pine for the "good old days" ? Ok I know It's more than one question but I used the White House Press Corp as a template to frame my question(s) lol

Hey Kris, let me walk next door and ask him.....

He's always been a good neighbor to me, except for all those boring stories he tells of the good old days, and the occasional gunfire at all hours of the night Image Raccoons getting into this eaves, he says.

Will you have any sanity left after reading (and trying to answer) all of these inane questions?

Charly, Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Phineas was my best friend in school.

42 was indeed the original presumed answer. But as mentioned, what was the ultimate question?

Only one? But don't most of the Rick fans say, "One is never enough"?..

Paul, I noticed you said you spent a lot of time at NAMM playing the 360/12c63. What particulars about the build of this guitar do you think makes it so GREAT and different from modern Ric 12s?

Paul, here's my question: Do you ever feel like quitting your job and just doing refins and restorations, and if you did, do you think you could survive on the profits, provided you had a steady stream of work?

The reason I asked this question was because it seems like you and Dale are the de facto RIC custom shop, you both have very close ties to RIC and the quality of your combined output is quite exceptional.
