Give Graham Griffiths (Eightmileshigh on the forum) a call, he is in London and has millions, nay trillions of them!

I certainly wouldn't pay the 'West End Premium' for a Ric. Denmark Street prices are for the Bono's and Paul Weller's of this world, the rest of us go elsewhere to get the same thing cheaper.
If Graham can't help, drop me a PM and I'll point you in the right direction. I worked in the West End for 20 years so I know Denmark Street very well!

you're a very friendly bunch, aren't you?
i've been thinking about buying a new guitar (or two) for ages and have pretty much settled on getting a rickenbacker 12 string (plus maybe a tele)... i've been playing acoustic for the last few years so it's quite hard figuring out what to buy really... does graham own a shop then or is he just a collector? i've not spotted any solidbody 600 series guitars at all yet...

Hi John,
I have a couple on Ebay at the moment. You're more than welcome to come and have a look, if they're within your budget?
