Beautiful!

But I sure do like the rich wood look of the standard version, too.

Got an update in the last few days, I know things are going slow but I have now accepted that and I will get the guitars when they are ready and not a minute sooner. Thats fine by me.
So heres a couple of pics of my Lefty and the Gold top Vintage Righty

If anyone wants to make me an offer for the Gold Top PM me. Ricks says its one of the finest examples of an original model 1 he has seen. Its Number 70 something from the original batch of 100.

I like how they talk to you and don't talk to me. Unbelievable. Just out of curiosity...when did you pay for these instruments?

He sure has. HAHAHA. AHHHH me.

This is the most amazing guitar I have veer seen!! Its Sounds unreal and the depth to the colours contained within are breathtaking.
Its a real one of a kind. Rick has done a great Job. I Notice it has the zero fret too, something rick has stopped doing.

What do you guys think. Anyone wanna buy it....

Dude, beautiful guitar! Why did he go with the "wood" knobs though? I love that vintage headstock too...amazing. What is the zero fret? I've not heard of that. Are you gonna really sell it? I'm thinking about selling mine, too. If I can get 3k for it. I LOVE the guitar. It's wonderful, but I can buy a nice Cordoba for about $900 and keep the rest and help pay for the trip to NZ.

Damn, I just wish I could! I really, really wish I could Being a student I doubt it's in my price range. :lol: Want to give it to me for free? :p

Out of curiosity, what sort of price are you looking for it? You can PM if you don't want to say in the thread.

[Madness Fades]

Ok, I'm a bit confused & skeptical about the "original 1980" part. Back then the cord jacks were still on the face of the guitar (like an ES-335), not the edge (like a Les Paul). What's up with that? :shrug:

Rick probably moved the input jack, eh?

[Madness Fades]

Right Brandon,
Rick Decided that the Chord Jack Should be moved. I dont know excatly for why.
Rest assured chili its an original #071-80 as certified by Rick

[Madness Fades]

Its back on ebay. I must be crazy. Its on for 0.99p and theres No Reserve.
It will make an amazing christmas present for someone.

I had an awful bill through the post recently so this is the start of it.
Now everyone that has dreamed of owning a Model 1 go put a bid on it.

[Peestie]

That is really bad luck :( I'm sorry you've had to put it up for sale!

[Madness Fades]

Well it's my other one, not the signed one.
The house, wife, dog, car and left testicle will go before the signed one.

[mylittledemon]

Beautiful guitar man... Rick should've put the "newer" knobs on it!! ;)
