That's amazing! I saw that guy on the local news the day after the tornado and he said that he went in the basement when the storm hit. When it was over, he crawled up the stairs through the debris and had no injuries. His house appeared to have the most damage of any of the homes in the area. He said that he had just found the computer hard drive that all of his music was stored on and he seemed relieved about that.

I am also amazed that I didn't already know about his gorgeous 381V69. I thought I knew where all of the Fireglo Ricks in my area were located!

Nice quilting on that 381.

The tornado thought that the Rickenbacker was to beautiful to destroy.

And the thing I really like about it, its a solid Vintage case and not the SKB case they use, I still stand by my preference of the silver solid built Vintage case over the SKB which I think is flimsy andf not solid enough to protect that guitar, and belive if it was in the SKB, it would have been destroyed, Thumbs up for the silver vintage case..

Oh, man! What a beaut! I suspect divine intervention!

X2 on the case. Not sure if the SKB would have been able to survive.
