I'm just curious to see who's in the club. If you've got a RIC acoustic let us know. Come on you lurkers, time to come out of the shadows. I'll go first:

2001 700 Comstock in fireglo
2001 730/12 Shiloh in mapleglo

How about some reviews and photos. I was just looking at those models on the RIC website.

How long do you think they would take to come in if an order were placed today?

I'd say a long time Brian - RIC currently isn't making 'em.

I posted a review of my 730L on Harmony Central:

Here's one picture (the only one I have on the computer I'm using) of mine:

I believe that the acoustic backlog is at 18-24 months, but ordering has been suspended until RIC catches up on orders. I plan on ordering another 730 (either a Laramie or a Shiloh) with the E3 option when the suspension is lifted.

My next one will be a Jazzbo! I hope. Image

Is it just me or are the rosewood backs on RIC acoustics drop dead gourgous on ever one? I haven't seen a plain one yet.
