Finally I have joined the Rickenbacker club!

After many many years of wanting to buy a Rickenbacker, I recently returned from the States the proud owner of my first Rickenbacker - a 360/12c63.
It is not an understatement to say without this forum and the help of the kind folk from it, I would still be Ric-less.
A few months back on this forum I asked for help on how to buy a Ric from the States and bring it back to Australia.
A big thanks to Ron O’Keefe for putting me on to Wildwood Guitars and all the people who sent private mail confirming that Wildwoods were reliable. Troy Benns from Wildwood Guitars was a champion - he was easy to contact and gave me a great deal. The guitar needed to be in LA on a certain day so I could take it back to Australia and he delivered as promised. Thanks Troy. Also thanks to Josh who offered to go down to the store and give the guitar a once over for me.
I tried to post a few pics but have run into a few troubles. Will try again later.
Thanks again to all who helped out with this purchase.
Andrew

Congrats, Andrew!

BTW, there are two restrictions on picture files, longest dimension and file size. One of those is probably the source of your difficulty in posting pictures.
