Hi There: This is Robbie Bryan, England. I've been meaning to join you and at last here's a few for your database. I've been into Ricks since 1973 when I played with Be Bop Deluxe, using the 1973, 4001 above. I had a 1972 before that, for a few months, but the fretboard parted from the neck so it went back.

I do my own renovation work, for things like pickguards etc. I am able to make identical ones to the originals and I swear you can't tell the difference. Over here in England, some pickguards are unavailable and they have to be made or use aftermarket replacements, which quite frankly are poor, and made of the wrong type of plastic. If you hear of anyone who needs helping out let me know. The 4080 below is a sample of my work.

Regards Robbie Bryan
PS they called me ROB on the Axe Victim Album back in 1973.
