Factory photos wanted

Post by jdogric12 »

Hi gang. I've searched and searched, and found some good nuggets, but I'd still like everyone to please send me any and all photos you have of the RIC factory, particularly the paint room. I wanna see how they paint them sh*ts. I imagine the best source would be photos from the 75th anniversary tour. Thanks everyone! Cheers, JD

Not really any decent shots of the paint room though.

"Check out the fish-head on the far right.."

I have email from John Hall about how he retreived that guitar from his attic and got a gash on his head for his troubles. I think it was well worth it. :lol:
I would like to mount an expedition back into his attic......head-gear required! Any takers? The que starts behind me! :roll:

Well, we use paint, and a gun... Have I said too much?

The gun is to keep the painters from leaving early on breaks...

It's also helpful for keeping me out of the museum after my afternoon plate of greasy bacon.

Stupid question, but the Ric factory doesn't let just anyone come in, does it?

Nope, especially not people who've just eaten bacon.
