Congratulations, Brian. I saw some of these in production during the RIC75 celebrations and they looked superb!

If you can manage some pics when it arrives....

Congratulations, Brian! I knew it would be soon. So that means I'm now #17 at NCM.

Thanks Jerry, Bill, Kris & Aitch! Just recieved shipping info. It's has a delivery date of Tuesday the 6th. Which is ahead of the time frame Gary and I talked about. Aitch, got the camera warmin up and on stand by. Speakin of warming up. Since I'm in Florida and it's been in the 80's should I wait a day or more to open her up? It's not like I'm bringing it in from sub zero temps. I know this topic has been covered regarding cold climes but any advice regarding Florida spring like climate? Thanks. Now to find another que(sp)

My turn -- I got the an e-mail from Gary today! (John K & Brian T, I hope you got my e-mail, I promised you'd be first to know!) I feel like kid-in-a-candy-store-on-Christmas-Eve! I feel like flying to Wisconsin to pick it up myself! I'm feel like I'm using too many exclamation points!

Anyway, I was #10 at NCM in January, 4 behind Brian Tye, so everybody moves up at least one now. Mr. Hall, I am LOVING your reduce-the-backlog plan!

Pictures when it gets here...

Jerry, you have absolutely no idea how personally involved I was with this one . . .

Uh...gulp. I don't know what to say, Mr. Hall. You may imagine how I feel about this. At 55 years old, there has been one guitar I've wanted since the first time I saw G.H. in "Hard Days' Night" in 1964 and I was 12 years old. With all that goes on in the world, it's probably silly to get misty-eyed about seeing a dream come true, and it's ONLY a guitar, but.... it's a Rick ... it's THE Rick.

Your guitars and your company represent not just good music and an exemplary American product, but Rickenbacker also represents a part of time in our lives that was very special for a lot of reasons. I very much appreciate anything and everything you have done in getting my little piece of the dream realized.

Now I just have to find a place to put it next to its' "brothers".

Jerry, our order fulfillment person was out last Friday and everyone else was fairly overwhelmed. As a result, I, under extraordinary circumstances, took on the job of personally allocating the finished goods for that one day. Looking ahead to what I knew was coming through this week, I put together a pretty good block shipment of these to Gary, rather than have a few go out here and more a few days later. That's all.

Doesn't matter if you were just the one holding the door for the guy loading the truck. If it gets the guitar to me any quicker, I appreciate it!

Jerry,
Now you've not only got a great guitar, you've got a great story to go with it!

And the rest of us still waiting in line at NCM shuffle forward a bit...
