So, how many Canucks thinking of heading south to buy a Ric now?

or to phrase it another way... How many Canucks does it take to buy a Rick?

The maples turn the prettiest colors in Santa Ana this time of year.

The US and Canadian dollars hit parity a few days ago. A rarity.

Given that Ricks aren't exactly covering the walls at music stores throughout Canada you'd probably have to head south to get one anyway, Bill.

Same here in Oz..... the exchange rate makes them more affordable but the stores can't get 'em! We're nowhere near parity but $0.87 is a heck of a lot better than we've had since the early 80s. It got down to $0.55 a few years ago.

I have yet to buy a Ric in a Canadian (Montreal) music store. Even when the dollar was $0.85 US, Rics were a better price from US stores (sometimes close to 1/2 price, like in the case of my 350). Now the price disparity is staggering.

I have a new Atomic Reactor amp on order from the US now.
