Guessing it's been covered here before, but I just saw it for the first time--that's a wicked Ric the "band" is using during the interludes...

But that's not a Rick.

He is playing a Fireglo 1997 at the start of the song but it switches to a Fakenbacker at the end when he is shot and falls into the Intercoastal Waterway.

It was covered a while ago over at the corporate site.

Oh yeah, you're right, he switches. Nice 1997!

Than he actually falls in and needed a **** guitar for the shot.

I think only Ricfanatics like us would notice that he changed guitars in that scene.

I guess that basically means that we ALL noticed it! ...

... notice lack of splash after he falls in.

... one of the funniest movies to come down the pike since 'A Fish Called Wanda'

Kent, you outdid yourself with those shots

There is a pickup where the bridge should be, to make it look more like a Ric.

It's obvious that someone involved with the movie is a guitar enthusiast. I say this because in this day and age it's nothing for classic cars to get destroyed during the filming of a movie, and if someone involved with this movie wasn't a fan of fine guitars, that 1997 would have taken a bath.
