So go ahead and check them out if they're in your area!

Very cool! Can't wait to go see 'em.

Thanks Ben.........so that's what those were all about! Major kudos to RIC for your participation in this initiative.

Are they coming to California?

I had trouble finding them on that page..........so here they are.

Oooooh,a 4003 with a horseshoe....nice. The mandolin is super cool.

Very cool cause! I hope they bring a pile of cash!



Interesting instruments, but definitely not my cuppa tea..

Thanks Thomas...

Very nice gesture from the folks at RIC.

Flamed maple fretboard.....

Outstanding!

I'd like to see them have strings on.....they seem naked.
