If I knew myself I could give you a hint.

What about a special run of Walnut 370/12s ? Nah..... Ok

Well, 2014 is just a little over 3 months away, and we all know what that means.....

....COY 2014 !!!

COY is like the color Ruby? How many examples does RIC make?

No, Ruby is a standard color, not a COY.

There are two very interesting posts on the Rickenbacker Guitar board under New Vintage Series? with the question about any new vintage guitars coming up and the Batman cartoon on the next post which seem to fit into the discussion we are having here on customer desires. Thank you Mr Hall for your response to my post. I don't think I ever thought anything else except that you make guitars to sell. I was using 'see' as a synonym for 'buy'. I am still interested in what ways you incorperate customer wishes or wants when it comes to producing new, vintage, or reissue guitars; would that include the RIC forum readers?

Absolutely, but it's a very cool standard colour!!!!

Dear Mr. Hall is there any chance that RIC will bring back black hardware? Like black tuners, black pickup surrounding etc. .

Sure, just after they reintroduce the first version of their violin.

It is not just the first post under New Vintage Series? on the Rickenbacker Guitars board or the next one with the Batman cartoon, it is the entire selection of posts that seem to be saying that RIC needs to take on board customer wishes and desires. Hopefully that is the case, but, with all due respect, I don't think RIC is communicating that clearly.

With all due respect, it's pretty hard to argue that point successfully when the factory is at 100% capacity, more business than we can handle.

Looking back, I think RIC has made more significant positive changes to their product line in the last five years than they have in decades. I guess that's not enough though...misinformed people will continue to make unrealistic requests.
