Thanks Chris. I feel that the Anniversary color is going to look killer with the checker binding.

Congratulations to all who have got confirmed orders. The bass in the factory was beautiful and I'm sure the rest will be equally spectacular.
Question -- are people paying full price? Some folks are saying that they got a great deal. Does that mean under full MFSRP? Just being nosey in case I track one down.

Full retail....
My husband sent out a few emails and made a few calls last night, and we now have confirmation that we have one in EACH model...!
I'm feeling overwhelmed!!!!!
God, I love that guy!
He's gonna have me at his bidding for just about ANYTHING for the next several months, LOL!

About $500 less than MSRP from Sam Ash.

Congrats everyone. I got word today that I am in for a 4003 and at least one other (probably a 330 or 660). Wouldn't it be the ultimate to have all 4 (like lucky Melisa) and have matching sequence numbers?

Yes, it sounds like the Ric dealers who actually KNOW what this is all about having been charging list price, simply because they can. Places that don't have specific Ric knowledge have been giving their "everyday low prices."
My local musical Walmart called for me around 3PM Eastern Time on Friday and snagged my 360 order. When he called me back to let me know he got it, he started the conversation with "Bro, I've got bad news. They only have ONE COLOR left." Being the slick cat I am, I simply sighed and said that would just have to do. I guess it pays to live in a musical wasteland of a city!

John K - I'd bet dollars to donuts they will do all 330's at once, then all 360's, etc etc. That would ruin your plan of sequential numbers, no? I remember on the factory tour they said they do a run of one model, then a run of another and so on. Plus, if they squeeze in along with regular production that would further ruin your plan. Just wondering. Great idea though.

Only for a few months? You got off pretty easy, Melissa!

Doubtful. I've heard from John Hall that the reason RIC chose the models they did (and no lefties and no 12 strings) was so that these Anniversary models can "tag along" with their regular production. They do, after all, have their normal schedule to keep up with.
My guess is that ten to fifteen at a time (along with ten to fifteen other colors will be produced - as part of their normal production.

Wow Melissa, that is great. One of each! Very cool.
JPS, what was that you were saying about checkered binding?? That's not going to be on the anniversary 4003 is it? Other guitars?

Jason,
While I'm guessing that Kris is correct (I think I heard as much at some point during the weekend) I was just fantasizing aloud (gotta be careful about that you know...but I'm among friends)...I'm only dreaming...
