Cold dead hands my foot. I'd part with any one of them for the right price.

Which I'm sure I'll never see :lol:

My beloved 370/12 RM (my first RIC) will stay with me, barring any unforseen emergency.

What if you got an offer at the right price and then got cold feet? And cold hands! :lol:

I don't know, Ron. Eventhough a recent RM sold for $8,000 plus on eBay, I'm just too attached to mine to part with it. The sentimental value definitely outweighs the monetary value. And to think I only paid $1350 ! (I bought it used at a local music store in my area in 1993.....my guitar is a 1990 model year).

A bog standard 330/6 FG.
Cost £625 brand new in 1998.
My very first Ric which was bought for me by a very special person.
Beautiful fireGlo finish, a tone to die for, this one is going nowhere.

On that note......

A bog standard 1967 4005WB in Jetglo (I know of only one other in JG).
First Rickenbacker purchased. May as well keep it as nobody likes these things, anyway. :mrgreen:

No need for a photo, y'all probably already have one or more on your hard drives. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

why don't you ship it around to the forumites so we can take our own pictures, saves you a lot of uploading etc. :D

Thank you Kira. And best thing about it is that it sounds as good as it looks.

Not likely to happen, but you can come over and sample it, like Gil and Steve have recently. :)

Jeffrey, that's a very generous offer. Next time I'm in Ohio (which also would be the first time for me) I promise to drop by :D .
