Hiya,
I'm a regular user in the bass section but the guitarist in my band is interested in this guitar here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41439&item=3734766289&rd=1
Just wondering if any people have an idea of what would be a good price for this and is it a good guitar even though the bridge has been changed etc?
Cheers for your help

Hi Ronan - I think the buy-it-now price of $850 is pretty fair for that guitar. Looks like it's been relatively well looked after for its age, and the Bigsby's a cool addition IMHO. While I can't comment on the performance of a Bigsby on a Rick, I have owned a 340 6-string for 10 years now and it's a fantastic guitar - comfortable, great tone, wide variety of sounds....I'd bet your guitarist would not be disappointed with this model!
Good luck,
Chris

Thanks Chris!
It's a lovely guitar and would look cool on stage with my Montezuma 4003!

I have an '03 340FGLH I paid $1100 for new, with silver case, about a year ago.

Ronn, could you let me know where you picked this up from as I'm in the UK and that's a great price, I'm sure with shipping etc.. it would still be cheaper than buying one here!

Got mine at Southpaw Guitars in Houston. They're a long-time Ric dealer and have rightys too, but they cost more, ha!
