...or much of the Ricks, either!

But there are 7 of them, the heads anyway!

In case anyone was wondering what's under the TRC on these:

Look Ma! No truss rods!

[aceonbass]

No dual truss rods? Must be a copy!

Finally found a nice Fireglo one for myself:

Kevin,
She's a beauty. The shading reminds me of several of your othe FG guitars, especially one of you 360v64s.

A question for y'all.....

Did they make any of these in Sea Green...?

I never saw one, if they did.

[sloop_john_b]

There is a Desert Gold out there, Dave had a Monty or two, and there WILL be some BBR's and some AFG's going to forumites.

Have not seen one in Sea Green, Burgundy, Blue Boy, MID, White, or Turquoise - doesn't mean they're not out there!

Nice Kevin!

[krick]

Thanks John and Jason. Here are a few more pics:

I love the figuring on that one, Kev! Where'd ya find it?

[krick]

Mine is from 1997 and has some birdseye in the maple but not as much as Jason's.

It was at a music store in Michigan for a very short time and I was lucky!

[jdogric12]

old or new style TRC? (ie: beveled or not?)

[krick]

Not beveled.

[ben_brown]

Beveless....
