Love At First Sight...

[Rickenroller]

Thought this'd be fun to post here. October 11th, 2011. The day Rikki came over. My first glimpse of her. My other guitars had no idea they were getting put outta business. Rikki's had a perfect attendance record. Been on every gig since I got her. Best. Guitar. Ever!

Brian, do you smell your Rick? Some here have this thing for the smell the new one produce.

[Rickenroller]

Yes! It's a unique smell. Kinda the way Volkswagens have a smell different from other cars. After so many gigs, Rikki's lost that smell, but I do remember gettin' hit with that first whiff of it. I'd like to have an air freshener with that smell. Maybe cologne. Hot Fender Silverface is another cologne I'd wear...

Thanks, manta!

And, Robert, since you're a big Peter Buck fan, this might be of interest to you...

Brian, a lot of past posts on the smell. We named it Rick-O-Smell.
