Interesting. One just sold on ebay, $2399.00 BIN: http://cgi.ebay.com/261137908672?pt=Guitar

The ebay one looks red in comparison to the "Tobaccoglo" photo on the RIC website:

That's extremely cool...

Pity I'm on a guitar-purchase-abstinence deal this year....

The Facebook photo looks great! but the pics on ebay made me think of Halloween.

A dealer told me that there were only 15 made.

I am hoping RIC will give us more information about these.

Looks like somone bought it about 2 minutes after Brian's post.

Someone here get it?

Our opinion here is that this is the same guitar. The dealer sold it on eBay (who was counseled and placed on probation for violating his dealer agreement) then we assume that the buyer has flipped it already.

That's interesting John.

Could you give us any information about how these models came to be produced?

Fastest I've ever seen was a dealer (let's say their names contains a C and a G) who had it up same day we shipped it! They had it on eBay even before we could invoice it to them! They sold it to an employee who had put it on eBay... sure, we believed that one!

Werner I am impressed with your intimate knowledge of the inner business of the RIC corporation! Who knew the Netherlands was so well connected to Southern California!

Any specs? Are these cross-braced or do they have a centre block?

I should be able to answer those questions later today.
