Homonyms are the same as any other word and don't let Spell-check tell you that there's anything wrong with that.

I think I "must have" one of those rick acoustics, maybe a 12-string version in fireglo. :D

I dunno, sounds kinda fishy to me...
:lol: :lol: :lol:

As for must have Ricks, well, for me, if it's got highly figured wood, is a bass, and I don't own it, well, what more can I say?

You mean imagine I could only have one? God forbid. It's like a Sophie's Choice scenario. :shock: :( :cry:

But OK, for me the last one standing would be a 320/325. There's not another experience like it in the universe. 8)

I questioned George Bernard Shaw, but he told me to ask William Ollier.

Anyway, my "Must Have" would be a 365F.

I'd say a 360 (6 or 12 string), but I already have one, soooo, for me at least, it would have to be a 381/6 (I already had an electric 12-string; it wasn't my cup of tea).

I've never played a 350, but have a 320 and some 360s. I've played a bunch of 330s in stores. I'd go for a 330 or 360 to get the classic tones. Toasters do have a special jangle, but hi-gains do the job, too. As others have hinted--play some and when one speaks to you, you'll know it.

From glancing at the replies on this post, I am amazed that no one mentioned an RM 1993. That would be my first choice, followed by a 360/365 OS, followed by a early 60's Capri.
