Nice, glossy paper. 12 different photos of members' guitars, photo size 8 1/2 X 11, suitable for framing!

This is a promotional deal. We don't make a penny on them--your cost is what we pay CafePress to produce them.

T-Shirts and bumper stickers are once again available for a limited time, too. Sorry, no mugs.

Here's what the cover of the calendar looks like:

Thanks for that link, Paul. It doesn't show up on the store owner's pages!

Some look very familiar

One question: IIRC, the announcement said there should be no people in the pictures?..

I had the trigger pulled... until I saw they don't take Paypal!

Not going to stop me... it looks awesome Paul!

I don't know man, not a single shot of a "modern" 360, or a standard-issue, hi-again-equipped 330 or 360, yet Pretty Purple made it ?? What gives ??? I don't think a Ric should have to be worth over $2,000 to be beautiful !!!

But that's just, like ... my opinion ... man.

I'm worth over two grand and I'm beautiful! (Or so my Mum says)! Heh heh heh.

Paul, What a nice surprise first thing in the morning to see my Capri on the Rickenbacker Forum calendar cover! Wooohooo! Good on 'ya mate!

Miss March is also rather sexy.

Thanks for putting it all together for us. I'm sure your hard work will adorn the walls of many Forum members.

My order has been placed!

Let me tell YOU somethin', pendejo! Paul probably should have flashed a 360 new-style out on the lanes, but you can't win 'em all. Strikes and gutters, as a man wiser 'en myself once said.

Maybe next year?

Nice to see a pic of Dale in there. That was a classy move. IMHO

Folks, for the most part, I used what people sent me. In a couple of cases. I had to make up pages from other shots I had taken (the JH and the oh-so-offensive "pretty purple" shot), which had to be high-resolution. Carsello, if you want to see new stuff in NEXT YEAR'S calendar, send me some new stuff!

I did get some shots from Jim Wargowski of his new 370-12, and its headstock is Miss December.

I said "no people", Sheena, because I didn't want this to be a "my girlfriend and my Ricks" calendar. I chose John Hall and Dale because...do I have to explain? They're both important people to this Forum and all Rick owners.

But aside from them, I didn't think that a "owners with their guitars" calendar would have the proper focus.

Next year: Lefties, new models. Taking requests. But not unless I get photos!
