Mitch,

What did you score? Did you pick up the 1999 Export Model 1997 for US$949.00? If so, well done, nice guitar at a very good price!

I would have hit the BIN button myself had I not bought one for the same price about a month ago!

Perhaps you should buy your girlfriend a nice bunch of flowers to soften the blow??

Nice, Mitch. Accidentally HIT the BIN button, huh? I did the same thing once, when I was 'blottoe'. My purchase wasn't near as nice as yours!

Hey Kevin.... I dig those gold pickguards.
Your old refinished 360 tuxedo is doing great and is still numero uno. I haven't even picked up my older burst 360 since its arrival.

I had played the other 360 for quite a while but when I plugged in yours everyone in the band went "WOAH!... that one sounds better than the other one!"

Which leads me to be a believer about the other thread's discussion about whether the finish on a Ric affects the sound.

Anyways, thanks again.

Kent, I though it was common knowledge around here that black guitars sound tons better than bursts...
