Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Is anyone here keeping an eye on the back order log for the LK's?

I am referring to a certain "Rickenbacker" web "Page" .

Anyone here get one of them???

Brian Crisman has one. He surpised us with it at the Columbus Confluence.

Hey Ted,

I saw many great post/photo's of Brian's awesome LK.

I talking about VERY resent deliveries.

It arrived just in time for the Confluence but Brian did not let on. It was the first thing many of us saw when when walked into the conference room that day. Very cool.

You trying to sneak an LK past us, Dave?

So, you mean like in the last week or two?

No Nate, I wish..

I just noticed that the Rickenbacker Page has reduced the amount of LK's back ordered by four units.

I'm just fishing around to see who has one of them. (so I can nag them to sell it to me)

Ted, the back order count went down this week..

Who is the proud papa?

I think there are two people on this Forum that were right after me on Mike Parks' page. I just talked to Mike about another issue last week and asked if he has gotten any more in since mine and he said he hasn't.....so it would be real recent if he got any. I asked about any cancelled orders so I could possibly fill a spot and all he said was that if anyone cancelled that he'd make it available on his page. I REALLY want a 2nd one so I check around as often as I can .

I'm still holding out hope that mine will be back in my hands for this weekend but time is running out......I'd hate to disappoint those of you that want to check one out since they are still pretty scarce.

I miss it!

BTW....if anyone here did get one I have an extra acorn/oak leaf matching strap that I'll give ya' a good deal on.....let me know!

I saw a strap like that at Sam Trash recently, Brian. Not sure who made it or the price (probably near $40), but it would probably fit your bill. Unfortunately, it was in Clearwater, FL.

Ed.....I have two of them already. I was offering one for a deal if another LK has been scored by a Forumite. Thanks anyway!

They are made by Levy's and Musician's Friend currently has them for $40 with free shipping.

All right. I'll fess up. My Lemmy will be arriving to my door Monday. I was right behind Brian on the waiting list. We actually ordered ours on the same day but I had to wait waaayyyy longer! This will make a total of 10 Ricks for me - 4 basses, 5 six-string guitars, and 1 twelve-string guitar.

You son of a...

Sweet! Are you gonna add the pickup cover / hand rest like Lemmy did?

Uh....No. But, I do think a "Rickenbastard" truss rod cover would be cool though. It will most likely stay stock. Mr. Parks told me that three LK's came in today for those keeping count.
