Yes.

Neat-o!

Did RIC ever use those Asian Original Grovers or should I rather assume an exchange sometimes in the last century?

These were evidently factory-original.

Paul,

Regards from Salzburg, Austria. Travelling here on a quick, week-long get-away... Met the owner of "Riverside Guitars" and mentioned your name in conversation. He said he had a '61 360F with you.

Cheers!

That would be our good friend Michael Steinitz, aka "Stootsie". We spent a fun day with him and his girlfriend at NAMM last year!

This thread makes me happy.

Your comment made my morning!

And you made mine, since I spent all of my morning looking through this thread.

Can I send you my guitar so you can take some pictures of it out in your backyard?

That shrub flowers for less than a month each year. Right now it looks like something from Death Valley Days!

Man, that must really limit your picture taking opportunities...

Actually, I'm waiting for my bass to leave Paul's backyard so I can take a picture of it in my backyard!

My backyard isn't much to look at.

You can all send your guitars to me and I'll take pictures of 'em in my backyard...

Where would I be without my other backyard???
