It's Been A While...

Post by rickenbrother »

Today was new Rick day! Well new to me anyway. :)
I've been wanting a Fireglo Cheyenne II since seeing Angelo's, then Ross's, then Shane's and then John Hall's.
First, I saw this Cii on the Pick Of The Ricks website, then I wanted to call Chris about it and it was gone from the website the next day. Then Shelby told me that Angelo bought it. So I congratted Ange, figuring it went to a great and deserving buddy. Ange says he bought the Fireglo Laredo instead. Then the following day Ange gave me the heads-up that it was back on the POTR site.
Many thanks to Chris, Shelby and Darryl at POTR! You guys are the very best! Always a pleasure to do business with them.
Thanks Ange or I would have missed this one! I should thank Tony as well, helped me move something else (non Rickenbacker) to make getting this Cii easier.
It's from '08, it's used. It looks like it was never touched by the original owner. It has an ABM bridge. It's much prettier with lots more flame than you can see in the lousy pics that I take.

You just have to be cognizant of unwanted reflections and a bit of color correcting to make it look more like it should.

Congrats Joey. It's a beauty. Looks like tons of flame to me, especially in your followup shot. Are you bringing it tomorrow?
