Paul, that first pic looks like a good one for the 2008 calendar.

It does, doesn't it. I gotta say those are four very nice looking Ricks. Great birdseye, Kevin! I really like the BB 325-12 with the black f-hole, and of course the MG C58. Always good to see your pics, Paul.

WOW, Paul.... Those are gorgeous!

So nice to finally see some more pics from you!

That birdseye fretboard is spectacular.

My goodness! Just incredible, Paul.

Love the 310/12 with the new fretboard! As if that guitar wasn't cool enough.

Gotta agree with that! I love figured maple fretboards! How cool is that BB though?

I was going to make a Nick Thiel joke, but will refrain.

Funny you should mention it...the BB 325/12 and the FG 310/12 are both "Nick Thiel" test bodies, as you know. Ten were made. One of these (I forget which) is pencilled inside the cavity, "NT #9". The other is "NT #10".

The Fireglo 12 string has "NT #9" inside.

So my BB is #10.
