My MARF II Ric-O-Gas

Post by jps »

I just couldn't leave POTR and that wonderful confluence without a souvenir!

I have played quite a few 12 string acoustic guitars over the years, but this one felt like home, so I just had to make it part of the family! Image

One of the best acoustic 12s I've ever played....Good on 'ya, Jeff!

I was thinking about it too, it's a great guitar.

You almost missed this one, Jeff!

I noticed both this one and the identical-finish 6-string version hanging up to the right above where I hung my basses and guitar Saturday, and I played them both a little.

If I didn't already have deposits down on both a 6 and a 12 string with Paul Wilczynski, those two were tempting enough that they would have both been sold Saturday afternoon!! Image

Glad you got it, Jeff, and congratulations!!

Congrats, Jeff!

That is one sweet-looking acoustic!

And a 12-string to boot.... I am so, so jealous! Image

There is still the 6-string version available at POTR! Chiris would love to talk to you about it Image

Oh, I have a 6-string already, a wonderful Comstock in fireglo. I LOVE this guitar, and at home it is the one I play the most. I just had our local luthier install the Baggs iMix pickup in it last December, and now I play it more at church, too. But I really would like to get a Ric 12-string acoustic someday. Maybe if our ship really comes in, I'll order a customized one from Paul....

Whew! You had me worried, Jeff, that the thread was about the digestive consequences of what you ate while at MARF II ... Image Congrats on the 12!
