That Ric looks very cool indeed, I have to see about getting some gold!

That's a real nice looking Ric. I've got the 360/6 in Midnight Blue. I wonder if I could order a gold pickguard and truss rod cover for mine? Blue and gold, what do you think?

Frank, you could start a RIC Cub Scout pack...

I don't know Frank. I have a 330/12 in mid blue & I can't really imagine gold on it. I really like the white. White pearloid would look good. Blue & gold...not sure!
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Thanks guys. They only reason I think the gold extras will look good on my MidBlue 360/6 is because the fretboard has a golden brown look to it. By the way, all of my Cub Scouts have moved away from home. One's in Hawaii and the other in San Fran. Too old to put up with any more. Now my Cubs are 9 guitars, a 24track studio and a wonderful wife. Nothing but sex, music and MORE GUITARS.

Frank, ain't middle age great? I've got (at age 56) an 8 year old daughter--very bright and inquisitive, naturally, and when she is away at friends', all kinds of music gets made around here.

Prior to her birth, it was like being a teenager again (my other kids are all in their 30s and moved away long ago!)

It's good to know others are reaping the best times of their life, you Paul and Frank. Yes, it is wonderful to sit back and take in all those things you've always wanted, like Rics and more Rics. Love my kids but glad to know the chord has been severed and they are miles from home, living comforably on their own. And it's just as good when they come back around

Amen to that, Stan.
