The RIC Facebook page has a photo of the guitars with the caption "for Germany".

They are VERY COOL - does anyone know if they'll be available in the USA?

A yes the Red Baron Limited Edition in Fokker Dr3 red! John Hall obliquely referred to these in one of the Guitar Centre threads earlier this year..

If I had one of these I could finally nail SNOOPY VRS THE RED BARON. :P

It appears that they have maple fretboards with FWIs like the 360 Walnut series.

Hmm; now would be a good time to be German. . . . or at least residing there. . . those are even brighter red than my Big Red. My Big Red is "fire engine red," but these are "four alarm fire-engine" red. . .
:? :mrgreen:
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

My mistake... The Fire Engine Red guitar was John referred to was this one - Same as the GH 12 strings but in this new "Fire Engine Red" finish.

Some changes have been made before they ran the full order - unless this is something else entirely and they have made both. I claim no inside knowledge. :)

I guess one has to become a world traveler in order to get access to all of these country specific specials.

Hmmm, I wonder what they are planning for NZ...

Good choice moving to NZ, better chance for a special run in NZ with 4,5 million inhabitants than Montana with only one :mrgreen:
