I've read a few posts here on how to protect the delicate nitro finish. I'm a happy Rick owner who developed something for precisely this. Try Axe Hugger (www.axehugger.com). | ||

Supposesdy, Nitro was only used up until '58. Conversion varnish is what has been used since. | ||

Teddy, welcome! Which Ricks do you own? They must be pretty old if they are finished in nitro! Pictures, please! | ||

Actually, I have a '98 series 330 in fire burst. If you want to see a picture its on my web site. I know its not nitro but I'm probably one of the few who read the manual cover to cover. It specifically states that you should not leave your Rick in a guitar stand because the rubber/ foam bumpers will mar the instrument. Whats the point? This is why I made Axe Hugger. I didn't mean to offend anyone. Just thought someone might like to know... | ||

That's OK, Teddy. It's Fireglo, by the way. And almost everybody here reads that manual cover to cover... And if Axe-Hugger works, all guitars need it, not just Ricks. Have you tested it? | ||

Welcome Teddy. Anything that allows us to keep our instruments in the best shape possible is hard to argue against. Thanks for letting us know of your product. I believe I have seen it previously on Bjorn's site. | ||

Thanks Peter. Yup, you have seen it on Bjorn's site. He contacted us a while back - thought it was a good idea and wanted to do a test. We sent him off a sample. He is sporting red velvet on his stands now. Thanks for the correction Paul. | ||

I seem to remember a company like yours back in the 80s. It was a jacket of some sort for a guitar. It was very similar to axehugger material. Cole | ||

I wonder why they stopped. Seems every other person who walks by our booth at NAMM laughs (we have an example of a badly deteriorated stand) and says "that looks just like mine". I had a need to protect my instruments. I figured others did too. |
