Oh no, Mike! That's not how RAS works at all. You must always follow the rules. The Second Law of RAS clearly states: "When faced with a choice of multiple Ricks to buy, Never make a choice. Buy them all!"
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and sit in with the band whenever you can, to keep your chops up!

Oh, I don't have issue with that reasoning at all, Elys...however, it's the wife who may have issue with that logic! She cringes at the mere mention of the word "guitar" anymore due to what's already in the stable. Care to work as my intermediary?? LOL

Unfortunately not. Just the FG 6-string left now. :-(

Have mercy! The figure on these two guitars (Cmuk & Krick) is jaw dropping! Love the quilt top on the MG and the curl on the FG is right up my alley. I'd put Krick's former 381 up against any flametop Les Paul I've ever seen; including both of mine, which aren't homely - an absolutely gorgeous guitar!

Not to tempt you Mike, but Classic Axe is supposed to get two 381's (a 6 and a 12) in BBR eventually. Just don't know when they're gonna get there.

Dang.... I start drooling every time I see pics of that one. It looks like hammered gold.

Ron.....you're an enabler! I can't do much at the present time; money's getting a bit tight and my schedule is slowing down. When we broke up the rock band last month, it took 16 dates off my book which in turn took cash outta my pocket. I'll just have to be content with my lust for a while. Image
