Then there are those of us who have to get our wives to resize the pics so we can post them. Pictures just don't do the current midnight blue justice. This was also the first time I'd seen the new full width inlays in person. I'm considering cashing in some 401K money to get the new 4003MID. Gary and I had to wipe the drool off of a 381MID we saw. Oh, in case it wasn't obvious, RIC's new midnight blue is my favorite color. As far as the long wait is concerned, I talked to RIC customer whose had a 381 on order for two years now. When he saw the current list price of over five large, he said the wait was worth it considering what he paid. At one point Brian Wilson came up to say hello to J.H.. It was like seeing a Beatle. I was speechless. I'm going back Sunday. Lemmy will be at the Marshall booth at 2:00.

Dr. Who, the photographic journey here is terrific. Nice to see Paul as well. Your efforts are appreciated. It's early here and before I had my eyes fully open I thought I saw Brian Wilson for a moment.

Holy Smoke, Brian Wilson looks FABULOUS. I AM Sooooooo JEALOUS......
Cool pics. I love the look of the current production, the 620/12 is a looker to me....the FG on the 360/12C63 is juicy as well...hell they all look good.

Interesting how they still seem to be "phasing out" the ABM bridges on the Larado and CII's. If you look at the photos you will see examples of both ABM and the Schaller.
Just an observation.

Scott, Gary, & Joey, thanks for sharing the pics. It appears to these old eyes that the finish on the 660 FG is the mirror image of my most recent acquisition.
