No longer waiting. After missing Santa in 05 and 06, he showed up a little early in 07.

That's really nice character on that wood. Very nice, very nice. I'm still waiting on the 4004s. They can't be too far away, can they :?:

I sure hope not, nukebass. From your fingers to RIC's ears and CNC machines.......(I hope)

Haven't heard a whisper.

I was wondering, does anyone here (Ben, John or Eric please feel free) know if they are made on the CNC or if they are hand cut being the body is a "sandwich" of woods?

Saying I know nothing about the production process is an understatement, but I don't recall anyone mentioning if these are made on the CNC or not.

Could that explain the delay in making a run of these or are they just at the end of a rotation cycle or even a once and a while 4003FL type of run?

I'm still waiting on a 4004Cii and wanted to know who else was waiting on their BBR to come in. This way I'll know I'm not alone
Never saw this thread before. I'm waiting for a 4003 BBR. My dealer ordered it october 2005. At least it will have all new features when it arrives. :wink:

The 4003 BBRs will be all done within a few months. The 4004s have finally been scheduled. Expect them some time in April. The catch phrase for RIC in 2008: ALL COYS MUST GO!!!

That's good news. I'll plan on them being done in July, then, and be happy if it comes sooner. That way any delays won't bum me out :lol:

I am. (4003 BBR) I am having second thoughts by now for a number of reasons but I should be able to get my deposit back easy if I dont want to go on with this deal.
