Who's the friend in Suwannee, GA? That's just right up the road from me.

I saw that auction. Kinda pricey-it probably cost him $40 to place that auction!

I say "Our Friend" because we all want/need friends who own essentially the entire "Beatles Gear" cannon (check out the additional photos attached to the ebay listing). I have seen some really great guitars photographed on that back deck that have come up for sale...at a price, of course. Cheers, RSG

Thanks for the FYI Mr. Hall. Ben used the term "droves". Is it fair to say the number on the floor near completion is but a drop in the "droves" bucket?

Hang in there, guys! I received an email fm Gary at NCM saying my c63 is in (hallelujah!) and i was still thinking i still had 4-5 to go. Is possible people just dont want to face the wait and are bailing out of line.

Nab -
When you get it (and are able to put it down for a few minutes), be sure to tell us all about it!

Well gents, my Christmas came yesterday (after only 2 years wait), and she is absolutely smashing! I previously owned a 360v64, and the most striking aspect of the c63 is the finish. The fireglo absolutely has the look and color quality of the vintage 360 FG, where the v64 was more orange and airbrushed. Not to succumb to hyperbole, but this is simply the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. Moreover, the trim neck makes for great ease of play, and the sound is absolutely classic vintage ric - everything I hoped it would be. Now, let the tuning and string changing begin...

Wow, NCM received 8 over the weekend... That means I'm going to be down to #10 or even single digits by now (if people are bailing/have bailed). What a drop!
Chris, if you need a place to host pictures, let me know, I'd be happy to upload them for you.

Do they have the new amber-fireglo?
Correct Harrison shading as advertised on the RIC factory site?
Logo centered on the nameplate?
I am waiting for one myself!

No amber FG for this model. Sorry...

Trust me Karl, you don't want one of these- they'll never meet *your* expectations.
