Safe to say no other Fireglo has wood that nice. Congrats. I want one!

My goodness, that's just stunning.

With flame like that, I trust you have a fire extinguisher handy?

BTW, if I might ask, what's the certificate number?

I am 99% sure I saw that same guitar for sale on eBay a few years back. I remember showing it to my wife... I really love the FireGlo on that one... Notice how it has more red and almost a mellon tint to it? That is the type of FireGlo I like...

Sad to say, I would not part with that guitar for a million bucks. Unless you want to give to me, of course... I've got a nicked up 480 I'll trade you!

John, I take it then that you're not disappointed...

Congratulations John, that's a beauty. Most of the ones I have seen have been flamey but there are some nice quilted ones around too.

Some of the CW's are argueably the most figured Rickenbackers ever made, although some of the 381s I've seen have some wicked tops on them as well.

Kevin: The photos of your instruments are second to none. Perhaps if you get a few moments you could register a couple and upload a few photos. It is a marvellous history lesson that is certainly easy on the eyes.

Thanks for some awesome photos of a great guitar for my birthday! You must be happy to have it. Where did you manage to find it?

I know I'd be happy if I could get my hands on one. Since birthday money will be pouring in, I guess I have no choice but to save up for one.

How do you like the thin top?

jwilli · Post by **jwilli** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 4:36 pm

Jake, not sure if you were asking or myself but here goes: I've been patiently waiting (who, me?) for 8 years to find one like this. How'd i find it? Someone posted that a Guitar Center had one for sale. I caught the post about 4 minutes after it was put up. It pays to watch this site obsessively.

I love the thin top and this guitar had a decent setup on it. It was missing the certificate but I would NEVER let a missing certificate stop from buying a guitar. John

Yes, John, I was asking you. In some ways, I'm glad I didn't check GC, because then I would have hindered you from having it.

What was the first thing you played on it?

Jake: Just in passing, Happy Birthday!
