Another New Rick Owner Here

Hi. My name is Jim, I'm a new Rickenbacker owner. I just thought that I'd properly introduce myself.... :lol:

Yup, I got The Call from Jim Rhoads himself about 3:00PM local time, saying my guitar was in. He said he'd be sending it out to me on Wednesday (Apr. 22), and that I ought to receive it Friday, possibly Saturday.

I'm so EXCITED I can hardly sit still!

I know, I know "it didn't happen without pix!" I'll post 'em. I will...honest...I'm still shooting film, not digital. For the record, I'll be getting a 360/12 string, Fireglo, with high-gain pickups...full width inlays....oh man that new fireglo....


YAHOO!!!

1. AC30 weigh 70lbs. They're great if you're 21 years old and strong as an ox. I think I'd go for an AC15. I'm gettin' to be a geezer.
2. And for all those who so kindly offered to inspect, photograph, or otherwise care for her until she get here, all I have to say is "Yer full o' what?!?!?" :twisted: :lol:

Feels great! Although I don't know how I'm going to get to sleep tonight, or tomorrow night. :mrgreen:

Hi Jim

Are you new here? I don't recall seeing any prior posts from you.

Just kidding.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Your graduation from Group Therapy is imminent - please put a post on that thread just to let everyone know that you're OK!

Congratulations, Brother!

Bob

Bob: Already did. Thanks, brother.

Mel: Oh you may count on it! However, as I said, I'm still shooting film, not digital. So there'll be a bit of lag time....OK maybe if I can put her down long enough to take pictures. :mrgreen:

And thanks to all for the encouragement and kind words, even challenging questions during the loooong wait. I have appreciated your sympathy. What a great place to hang out!

Hey Jim,

In lieu of immediate pictures, please provide a thorough description of your new best pal for us.

I think lots of us feel like we've been waiting for our own guitar to ship!

Congrats again!

Bob
