Thanks guys!
I appreciate it!
If anybody wants one (or a similar one--different colors etc), PM me--I can build another quite easily.

And you've got that '67 decor down pat, too.
Thanks Paul! You've got a mighty nice Ric Coffee table too, IIRC! Fireglo even.
The place is acutally my friend's pad. He's a design architect etc, and way into mid century modern furniture, the rest of the house is pretty wild.

+1....I have no idea how long it took you to make it, but you might consider marketing them....it would certainly help you put some more "cookies" in the "New RIC" jar....

You might have to worry about tunnelling, though.
That's a really nice piece that is also functional. You have your guitar with you in the living room at all times. No worries about falling out of a stand!

Nice, Collin! Since you sold the 365, what's going in its place?

Thanks Jake.
I've been keeping the RoMo 1998 in it. I figure I shouldn't be hanging that one by the neck anyways---and it's not my daily player. I recently picked up a 1997 RI to play on more often (and gig if needed...)
