Your dream Ric(s)?

Post by JakeK »

What is/are your dream Ric(s)?

I have three:

1997 RM RI
1998 PT
1993/12 RI

One day, I'll have the only three Rics I'll want (along with my TP) to get by. :)

Let's hear yours

Rutherford doubleneck (4 + 12)

Petty convertible (model 666/12!!! Been-to-hell-and-backer!!!)

J Dog Limited Edition... not yet designed, probably a 12-string full scale tulip of some sort

A 12 with a Bigsby (the Accent was fun but not strong enough)

That modular thing the books say John Hall made, but the company never put into production. Snap-in pickups or something? Like Legos perhaps? Sounded like a neat idea.

Oh yeah, one of them Astro kits. Them sh*ts make me raff!

The turquoise WB that I was stupid enough to sell (Paul A. you lucky son of a *****)

Oh yeah the '74 335 MG 21-fretter I sold long before I even realized it only had 21 frets. (Old photos were unearthed at a later date, revealing my past ignorance.)

The two, count 'em, two 4003S/8 JG's I sold right before they discontinued 'em. What? They can do that? Just stop making a model? Dang! What? They're worth double now? Double Dang!

My first Rick, I guess. Pretty gay, I know. I'd probably just sell it again anyway.

A freakin' Capri.

Is that too much to ask, people???

Well, of course a boatload of vintage stuff would be great.

I'd love to have a v68 bass in each of the main Rick colors of the time - FG, MG, BG, and AZ. Even a WHT would look killer.

And, this:

Combo 850 MG

325/12v63 JG

4001c64S MG

'60s 370/12 O.S. FG

P.W. Acoustic with a Martin-style body (I can dream...) MB

But more realistically, I think I'll only buy one more Ric to fill the 12-string slot...660/12 or 381/12v69, MG.
