Guitar Center has a bunch of Ricks up on eBay right now, several we've seen before. But briefly, around lunchtime today, they had a white 8-string Rick up there. I went back to look for it about an hour later, and it wasn't there. I don't know of somebody jumped on it, or if it was withdrawn for some reason. Now they've got a Mapleglo 73 with some of the desirable features, along with the "rock out like Motorhead," and the overpriced 4000 back up again.

Paul, I think it was a "Silver" 8 banger. Very very rare.
I'll let you know more, in a couple of days.

Nice one there Dave! Any chance of posting an MP3? I've always like the 8 string sound & wondered how a Rick 8 string compared to the Hamers I've seen & heard.

Chris, not yet, but it might come my way.
Bob and Kevin, you gotta come to M.A.R.C. day and play one in person.
I'll have my 4003/8FG there.
I think Brian C. is bringing his JG too.

I'd love to, but that weekend is my (will be) 3 and 1-year-old's combined B'day party...
Odd feeling I might have a hectic one!
