Nice Firebird. Here's 2 of my 'Birds (with some others), that I would consider among my "go-to's".

Nice Esquire! I see a few things there that I'd have no problem with owning myself. Nice to know that I'm in good company -

Matt, your collection is too cool!

Thanks, that's most of it on there. I have added a few since and I will take some pics this week. It's a lot to haul out but I love every minute of it.

Wow, what nice collections! Great, that's all I need is more GAS.

Mike, my Bird is just your basic new Bird. BTW I've been studying the composition of your collection photograph (well, drooling over, really) and wanted to point out that while it's very nicely done it is slightly asymmetrical; you'll need three more LPs to maintain the Rick, LP, bass, acoustic rhythm you've established in the front row. Just three more, that's not much to ask, and it would look so much more balanced.

Ahhhhh, yes! BALANCE.........hmm, maybe I'll use that one on the wife

My current go-to guitar is my 1960 345F. It sounds great unplugged or amplified. My go-to bass (this week!) is my recently acquired 1964 RM 1999. If I have to choose a non-Rickenbacker guitar it's the '63 Fender Strat

Completely hand made in Portugal - one of a kind. I go to it quite a lot.

Let me know if it works, will ya? My stuff's not balanced either.

Sorry Lindsay, it ain't gonna fly - my wife looked at me like I had lost my mind!

Darren, I'll give you anything you want of mine for that 1999; that's my all-time favorite Rick bar none. Congrats again on such a killer instrument.

Drat! Back to subterfuge.

Mike, I never thought I'd end up owning one. I had been wanting to find an early 4001V63 for about a year. I guess the RM 1999 will have to suffice!

I'll still pinching myself to see if it's a dream.

"Drat! Back to subterfuge."

I may be headed that way too if I find a nicely priced 4001.
