Commemoration - Your Guitar's Manufacture Anniversary

Wow, big improvement there, Mark! Congratulations! Cinderella met her prince.

Nice resurrection job, Lyle. And Kira, that's a nice jangle of Ricks you have there (well, what would you call a group of these things?).

My first Rick, acquired in 1994, turns 45 this month. Need to give her a good birthday polish and take a better photo.

saWEET, Doug! A dec '64. What's the model? Is it an RM?

[kiramdear]

Just WOW, Doug! I'd love to see some more pics!

[rickenbrother]

Doug, I'm looking foward to more pics of that guitar!

One of my first posts here was about it. Thread below:

It's a refin/repaired '64 375. Was originally FG, now JG. Long pole toasters. X bracing. Tiny neck. I replaced the roller bridge with a new standard bridge in 1995 (kept the original, of course). I've put the original PG back on with the fifth knob now wired for middle volume. She's had a hard life, but still has the mojo workin'.

My 330 is celebrating its 16th birthday this month!

December 1993.

Sweet 16 - right on, Dan!

I checked out the link on the history of your guitar. Fascinating read! Glad you were able to retrieve the guitar before any more hammer blows were dealt. Kudos to you for keeping it intact as a player!

A new month, year, and decade! Any January birthdays out there? This is the big 5-0 for any 1960 models!

Yes, January birthday here. My 330 in Cocaine White is 2 this month!!

I missed my 360's birthday. It was 36 in December.

That's okay, show it off belated anyway!

Agreed - I don't think anyone would mind - show away! the 330 is sweet!!!

[Rickygirl]

Ah, ok. Not too difficult to persuade me to show off any of my guitars!! Here are one or two pics of the birthday boys (and yes, mine are all boys).

My 330 and it's original owner. Look who it is on stage with!!

Sorry, a little bit of indulgence there.

[rickenbrother]

They make boy guitars too!

Cool pics, Sarah!

[walker]

Yes; cool photos. Sorry, I must be out of the loop on who's Who in the photo. (apologies again for the bad pun.) I don't recognize the guitar's original owner, but the other man at the mic looks to be Roger Daltrey. Little help?
