Rick 650 vs STrat

I had a VOX ADT50 amp for sale. Guy turns up with some cheapie MIM Fender to check it out.

He did the usual histrionics, till I showed him how the amp worked..

He said the usual: I'll get back to you, after speaking to the little lady.

One day later, he's back on the phone, wants to buy, shows up with his Stevie Ray Vaugn strat. Tries a few things. He's happy. I could close the deal and FUGGEDIBOUDIT at this point if I wanted to,

Then I suggest he try something different like my 650 and then my 330 MG.

Well, he's wowed as to how well the RICs play. Buys the amp, but with a certain look in his eye

But I'm feeling generous this week. So I call him back about 4 hours later and suggest he drop by my place on Sunday to do a guitar set-up.

I'm the first guy in the world to admit that I will never be a star player, but as long as I can help folks, that's what I will do.

We may yet have a Ric jamp group (or at least another convert) some time next year.

Rics are a classic guitar that cannot be beaten...

Out of my top 4 guitar brands, Fenders are good, Gibsons are OK (but their acoustics are the best acoustics next to Martins), Gretsches rock, but Rics will be the winner every day in my heart.
