Wow! Paul, I didn't know about this site. It's fascinating.
Your comments please, everyone.
(A little nagging is in order, however: I wish they would find a competent translator. Sorry about that.)
Check out the site, guys.

Yes Sergio,
I wanted to write "Please don't laugh at their English" in my announcement but that seemed too smart-assed!
The site's just been up this week.
Most items are priced moderately higher than the usual U.S. street price. Add shipping and your country's import tax...
I got pretty G.A.S.ed by the 4003S/8 and 4004 cii. Pity they don't have 4001 V63 in their inventory.
Check out the
picks and t-shirts in the "Accessory" Dept. (I've got all 3 colors of the Retro 1964 t-shirts already. Might want to get the
Silhouette Bass Ts soon.)
Nice-looking site, IMHO.

I don't see that they have any copies of the "Rittor book". I would have thought they would...

Jeffery,
You can order your t-shirts from them, no problem, if the shipping charge they quote you is fine by you.
Jimmy Ohnishi should be the one handling orders. He can communicate in English. A nice fellow too.
Have fun shopping!

Let's give them a break about the English- after all, how many of us here can write even 2 words in Japanese? Anyway, it's already in the process of being updated. They slipped the gun on me, allowing it to open before this was corrected.

Hahah, it's ok as long as it's comprehendible/guessable, Mr. Hall.
Gene,
2 months ago, I emailed Jimmy asking about availability of the Rittor book and his answer was: Out of print. I'll have a couple of my Japanese friends search around their local used book stores and see what happens.

Paul-- I would very much like to order several of the t-shirts available for sale at the website. However, Mr. Hall indicated in a post in another thread that Ric t-shirts there are in Asian sizing and will not fit most of us here in the U.S. I wear most shirts in size XL, but I don't think size XL in Asia will come close to fitting me. However, if your contact at the Asian Ric website can assure you otherwise, then I'm all set!

Thanks Paul,
I'll send them an email. I have been looking for that book for several years now. The only copy I've ever seen was owned by some guys that owned a vintage guitar store here in town. When it closed its doors, they had a huge going out of business sale, and I got a nice Rick case for a song. But they wouldn't sell that Rittor book for anything, even though I offered them much more than what they musta paid for it!!

You're absolutely welcome, Gene.
Jeffery,
It's easy to know if they have t-shirts in your size range: Take your favorite t-shirt, lay it flat and measure the length between its 2 shoulder cuts where the sleeves join the body. Then convert it to "cm".
(
Length Conversion Tool at your service.)
Click on "size and info" in the shirt page and look for your size. I (6 feet tall, quite fit) found "medium" my size this way.
Hope you find yours.
