Hey, guys.

Did I read somewhere that RIC had issued some model 1997 12's a while back? I did a search but I couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

Jaybyrd, those were actually numbered as model 1993 12-strings, after the Rose-Morris 1993 12-string guitars made for export in 1964-65. Most if not all of the reissues were made around 1987.

Thanks, guys. Now I see why I couldn't find anything on the search engine. 1993, not 1997. I thought, though, that they were recently reissued as a special edition model in Monty Brown and given the moniker 1993 SPC or something like that. Am I wrong again?

There was only one of these, that I know of.

Kevin, that is it!!! Thank you. I knew I saw that somewhere. Why only one? Looks like that would be another best-seller -- as if all Ricks aren't!
