Mitch,
I'd love to take it off your hands but the wife would be a little more than upset if I bought another Ric.

Gary, thats a nice Red 320. I just noticed a Red 330 on ebay Australia. Pardon my lack of knowledge but is there anything collectible about it. (Not that I could buy it for the above reason, just curious). Here it is :

Shane, it looks to be a nice guitar, but it has no specific 'special collectability' as far as I can see.

Mitch, if you decide to sell the 320, I might be able to help you out... she's a beaut!

Thanks Ethan,If I decide to sell it I will let you know.Gary that Red 320 is Wild!I never saw a 320 in that color before.

I just "accidentally" bought one (count 'em) wavy Grover. Didn't expect that. Oh well, one down, three to go...

Another impulse shopping moment, brought to you by the Summit Brewing Company.

The "wavy" Grovers on my 320 are the best tuners I've had.Why did they stop making those?

I made a slide show of my 320(gotta make use of my Photobucket account).

It's here!Do I really have to wait 48 hours to open it?

Was it below freezing anywhere along the route? That's probably a dumb question. Spring has retreated for the moment here in Idaho.

I live in Minnesota it left Kansas City on Monday and arrived at the UPS Depot here around 12 AM last night.Temperature here has been around 32 degrees F.

When my 1996 was shipped to me late last summer, I couldn't believe how little the cardboard shipping box was!

At 32 degrees, it's probably best to wait.

whew..... waiting 24 hours without opening THAT box has got to be torture!!!

(lemme guess..... its NOT a Tokai)

Pretty fast for a backorder!

It will be worth the wait, Mitch.

BTW Mitch, the only other short scale RED I have seen is on one of Mike Parks' sold pages, a 325v63 RED.

If demand outstrips supply, I have two killer early 80s 320s I might part with. A JG with toasters, and an Azure Blue with hi gains and an F hole. Both are near mint with excellent original cases.

Houston,we have a problem.I finally opened up case and noticed a chip on the top edge just south of the bass horn.What a bummer!Hard to believe that it shipped like this but the Accent handle was loose inside the case so maybe that is how it happened.

Mitch, If you're a married man, I hope your wife doesn't read this forum - or receive your UPS shipments.
If so, you have my sympathy...
