My First RoMo

Post by gellkeller »

Another new one for me. I just had to keep this one Down Under. It has some nice bird's eye in it and it is just a treat to play. They sure made some great guitars in the 60's.

Apologies again for the quality of the photos.

WOW, very nice!

Is the Ac'cent arm original? Is there a period for longer arms on those?

I believe it is but not 100% certain. I was chatting to someone who is quite familiar with vintage Ricks and he said the vintage arm is longer than the current arm. It also has a different profile (the bends are a bit different).

Definitely. Good to keep it in the family.

Nowhere near as clean as the front. I'll take some pics.
