Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hey everybody,

I just want to give a shout-out to Classic Axe guitar store in Manassas, VA. The owner, Russ, has been a authorized Rickenbacker dealer since last April (I have had a 4004 CII in Translucent Green on order since then), but he has gotten alot of cool new Ricks over the last few weeks. He just got in a Montezuma Brown 4003 (it's gorgeous, and he has more Montezuma Brown's on order!), a 380 Laguna, two 660/6's (Mapleglo and Burgandyglo) and not one, but three 381v69's (a Fireglo 12 string, and Burgandyglo and Jetglo 6 strings). You can check out the website (www.classicaxe.com) for a complete listing (with images) of all the Ricks Russ has in stock. Unfortunately, he sold the Burgandyglo 350 12v63 and the Burgandyglo 4003, so you can ignore those. So if you are close to the Washington DC/Northern Virginia/Maryland area, go check it out, it can't hurt!

Ron - Thanks for the tip! I checked them out and will keep them on file for when the right guitar comes along. I was aware of that shop, but did not associate them with Rickenbacker. Very helpful, thanks again.

I might check them out too. I want one of those MB 4003's soon.

Well I'm impressed. They have great taste -- I love the Burgundy glo, the Montezuma Brown and the turquoise and they ordered the latter w/a toaster and they appear to have photos of the actual guitars as opposed to the stock Ric photos of the model.
Too many more stores like this and I wont trust myself to sit down at the computer. You can see the wood grain peeking through that Burgundy glo.
Be still my visa card.
