What model Ric does Peter Buck play?

and shouldn't there be a model named after him?

Doesn't he have a jetglo 360? And yes, he would be a good candidate for a signature model....

Yup, JG 360. His "main" 360 had a sticker of a trucker's mudflap girl on it. Should that come on the signature edition?

I'd be totally surprised if he had not been approached regarding a signature model by now.

I think it's tacky to put a sticker on a Ric, but I suppose it could be an option for a Peter Buck signature model.... I've also seen pictures of him playing a Ric with a skull-and-crossbones sticker. Is it the same guitar?

Might be. . . I dunno;)

The skull and crossbones sticker was on his Ric prior to the trucker sticker.

I think it has been hinted that Peter has been approached before, but has so far declined to lend his coolness to a 360PB.

This has been discussed before, and from what I remember (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), Peter Buck is not interested in a sig. model. Also, his guitar is supposedly stock, so there is also no real point in having one.

I don't care. Make one and I'll buy it!

J. Phelps, you are correct sir! Buck isn't interested in a signature model. The good news is that you can order a 360 JG. Voila! Thats his guitar.

I'd almost feel sacreligious owning a 360 JG.

I've got a 360 MG, but if I had ordered it in JG (which was the original idea) I would have felt the need to go find that trucker sticker somewhere.

Pete had/has a Ric with a Van Halen sticker on it too.

That's why I picked up my 360 JG last year! Still looking for a sticker and signature for it!

That's hilarious! So the God of indiepop listens to the deities of hair-metal!

R.E.M. covered "Midnight Blue" by Lou Gramm once!

I saw them perform "Midnight Blue" when they toured with 10,000 Maniacs somewhere around 1988. Better version than the original!

On a "Maniacs" note, I have an employee who is friendly with their current guitar player. They live in the same town and he's going to try to get me to meet the new version of the band sometime.
