I saw it and just had to have it. So to celebrate the sad end of the mining boom in Australia, I bought it. It maybe the last one before a while.

Time to get rid of the Steinberger and the Fenders now... The missus is starting to find it is a bit too much!

Worst thing is that it was on eBay about two weeks ago and Olivia's Vintage got it for a very good price...
Oh well... I missed it then.
It is now on it's way to sunny Oz.
It sure is a beautiful wood. All it misses is the CB and the walnut wings on the headstock.

Dang, it was on ebay too??? Guess I need to check more often! Ah well, I've got plenty of nicely figured Ricks, I guess it's good to spread some around...
