I have a Cii on order from Mike Parks. Mine was ordered in March of 05. Hopefully it will arrive before it gets too cold (so I have until December
) so any adjustments from shipping will be small.

Hey John,
You got it, I'll have some pics up tomorrow. I will address your email then as well, THANKS! I have to take some pictures of that subject as well!
It is my daughter's 17th birthday this Monday, SO, we're celebrating all weekend! I have a house full of kids sleeping over and I'm the house Dad!

That's an easy job after stocking the larder, you are NOT supposed to appear! At ALL!!

As promised John,
Here are a few HASTY shots of my new 4003FL AFG, but you get the idea. Beautiful guitar. STRANGE, it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to get the Walnut Ears to show up on film!
I'm NEW to Fireglo, this being my first, but I was surprised at just how hard it was to get them to show up. With the naked eye, in house lighting, you cannot see those ears no matter what the angle! I kinda like it though, it makes it unique!
I haven't plugged her in yet, I want to get a set of FLATS installed first. The neck feels nice, MUCH, MUCH better than any of the 4 2005 4003's I had!
Thanks JH & company for still making these babies. It was well worth the wait!

Thanks John,
I was HOPING that was the case! I was sweating that one out! I have to admit, I did lose sleep over that one! I wasn't sure WHAT to do!
I can't wait to get some QUALITY time in this weekend!

I paid down on a 660/12AFG from Pick Of The Ricks last December, but I have yet to hear anything back on it. It was ordered in February, so I don't know when I'll hear anything. Somebody else bought one ordered a month before, and he's had it since about March, I think. I used to check Rick's shipments every day, but now I only do it every couple of weeks. It cuts down on the broken hearts. I've already got designs on a 381/12 for my next new Rick. I think I'll go Mapleglo this time.
While I'm thinking of it, didn't I see a couple or three AMBER Mapleglo 330s last year at some point, somewhere?

If it's an AFG you reserved from POTR, that guitar would have been ordered from RIC sometime last year. AFG was last year's Color of the Year, only available for order in 2006.

Yeah, I paid on it on Dec. 1, 2006 and they had ordered it Feb. 23rd 2006. I keep hoping that I'll just get the call one day that it's ready.

John,
LoL!
I actually ordered it that way just to LIGHTEN up the bass a bit!

I think Tony ordered a fretless so as not to wear out or damage his strings.

Wow, that's really nice, Tony. Congrats and enjoy it! Now don't sell it like you did the MB.
