No, not at all Howard! She has had to make-do with a ricketty old piece of cr#p for years now as a dining table,and there was no protest at all when i wanted to purchase the 360,let alone the 320!
I was raving to her about your 350,along with all the other ricks that were present,and i did get a
"we'll see when the financial position gets a tad better",from her.
Sounds promising!.....doesn't it??

Ken: "so many Ricks,so few forumites"...
I'm tickled to think people are averaging us all at 6 Ricks apiece!
Steve: i too am more than happy just owning one! BTW Steve how's Townsville? My eldest daughter is studying at Uni there, i haven't had a chance to visit and check on her!

Hopefully that 'tad' is not too far away, Greg. I assume you recorded the conversation, yes??

The "Townsville" question was directed at you, Carl..Apologies Steve!
Hopefully not a tad too far away Howard! But isn't that a "wife" trick: make you think you're gonna get one??...."one" meaning,well... anything,i guess!! LOL
And then, hopefully you'll forget!..????

You won't forget, Greg.... when the subject comes up again I'm thinking it could be something like "What?? I never said anything of the sort!!"

G'day Howard: Yeah, none coming into the country at the moment. It's a bit sad. Ten months after placing the order I'm just itching for my 620 to get here. In fact, the GAS is so bad I've been fighting off the temptation to track another one down so I can have it now... 2nd hand; do the ringaround all the country's dealers (it worked for the 360!); or even import one from an overseas dealer. I've been very tempted to use the 360 at gigs but it's such a pretty thing and I'd hate it to get gig dings.

Hi Greg: Sunny Townsville's just fine. Actually, I don't know where your daughter is from, but if this is her first year up here then I think she might be in for a bit of a shock. Summer has started to hit over the last few weeks and it feels like it's going to be a stinker!

Tough times indeed, Carl. Hopefully your 620 (and my 360) will arrive in time to be a Christmas bonus. I've been very luck with my purchases - right time, right place and all of that.

There may be a US forumite looking to offload a 620 but be aware of the fact that shipping will cost you a further $350USD and customs fees, duty and GST will add another $200AUD. Makes it still fairly expensive, but if the price is right for the guitar itself you could still come out at around $1500 plus the local expenses. How lucky was I getting my 620 for $1299 locally??
