Jim Reeves had a custom colored one while he played with his band: "The Blue Boys" That's how the baby blue Rick got it's name "Blue Boy" Ricky Nelsons was loaded with fancy pearl and shell inlays, and lots of exotic wood was used in building it. I had one myself back in the mid-70's, it was a dark brown sunburst. I picked it up on a trade and ended up selling it to a German collector.

Wouldn't the original production solid top second generation (i.e., Lennon "Miami" variety) 325s come in close to the top of any Rick "most rare" list? Most 60s 325s you see have the F-hole, right?
