Mr Hall.... How come Ric doesn't use pickguards on the acoustics?
And have you ever considered making a Ric acoustic/electric? |

IF RIC ever starts taking orders again, I'd take the E3 option. May not happen in our lifetime, however. |

We originally planned to supply pickguards and the prototypes had them. However, we quickly learned that everyone had a fairly specific idea as to the type they wanted. Given that most acoustic pickguards today are of the scissors-cut-to-fit variety and the materials commonly available at most music stores, we decided to leave that up to the customer. After all, it's difficult to change a pickguard after it's installed but nothing to add one later.
Howard, you may be right if the cost of living in Orange county stays as it is. |

John,
Did you guys make many acoustics in the 70s and 80s. From what I read it started in the 60s but I don't hear of much acoustic talk up until modern times. I guess what I'm really asking is where can I find a little history of RIC acoustics?

That would be tragic, John.  |
