I just bought a......

Post by arbiter »

Pair of Guitars from Wildwood! Its been about four years since I made a guitar purchase so needless to say, i'm pretty pumped. I will say that one is a Ric and one is not (WHAT?! a non-rick!). It should be about a week until they arrive since i'm in Mass. Until then, i'll let the suspense and speculation build. Photos, story on the $, and reviews when they arrive.

I would certainly say you'd have the best shot at guessing howard. They were both strongly influenced by my visit to your place... :D

I bet the Ric is a 660/12 and the non-Ric is either a Fender Tele or Strat or a Gibson of some sort.

My guess is that the Rick model starts with a 3 or a 6 but I'm leaning towards 3............ :wink:

lol Howard. I said they're 20 minutes away still! I probably wont be receiving them till Monday and possibly Tuesday if I'm not around when they're delivered. I've been trying to brush up on my playing in anticipation.

When they arrive and have been out in the cold should i leave them in the cases until they're approximately room temperature and then take them out? I see people ask this all the time, but can never remember the answer...

Take them out of the shipping boxes, leave then in the guitar cases for at least 24 hours.
