My first ric was my wife and friends thirtieth birthday present for me in '98 (a '96 360 MG bought in France). Since I have bought four more and have one on hold. For a while, I flirted between gretsches & rics, but, in the end, I concentrate on rics.

Got my last (for the time being) Rick, an August 1970 21 fret Mapleglo 4001, a couple of months back.

I had drooled over a 360 for many years but didn't get one until 1986 at age 33. I was playing an Ibanez LP copy at the time and walked into a NH guitar store and was absolutely smitten by the dark ruby-red 360/6 that had just been put on consignment. I didn't have the spare cash laying around at the time to afford the whopping $550 pricetag, but somehow I got it together.
