I ordered a Rick today

bbottom · February 15, 2013, 07:44:00 PM

The dudes at Wildwood guitars near Denver are some of the nicest guys that I've ever dealt with in a music shop. I can't recommend them enough. and their prices on Ricks can't be beat.

Here is what I ordered, it should be here next week

I'm picking up my Orange rig in about a month. After that...... my rock arsenal will be complete.

Pic no workie. Me = wanna see that thing, so fix it!

Went out to Wildwood once since I moved here. It's a teenie tiny little shop, but with a 3,000 or so guitar attached warehouse type dealie. Nice fellers. They went and fetched me a pelham blue Custom Shop SG Special from the back to try out. Nice playing guitar, but not $3,800 nice, for goddamned sure.

You can't post an image from an attachment to another forum. Maybe stick it on imgur.com or photobucket.com and then post it here.

I never saw myself wanting then I saw Nails at This is Hardcore 2 years ago. My radar for a used Ric is now constantly on.

The shop that I bought mine from sell them for $1510 brand new and set up however you want them. I have hardly ever seen a used one go for less than that. So you may want to think about just picking up a new one

Damn nice. I love my friend's Ric, the flatwounds sound great as do drop tunings. I with I liked the feel of their guitars as much as I liked their sounds and looks. The necks of their guitars are just weird, bloated and bulky without the comfort of other fat necks....fortunately the necks on their basses don't feel quite as bad too me.

Huh, a pawn shop near where I work has a jet-glo one for 1200, and the dude is willing to deal.

I can't play them myself, nor do i like my sound out of them, but if I wanted one I'd go there and flick $900 cash at his nose. He prolly paid $600 for it.

VOLVO))) · February 19, 2013, 08:00:43 PM

lemme get 900$

If you can get a Rick for $600 I say go for it. If you can get a used one for $900, I say save up and get a brand new one for a few hundred more

I nearly always rather a second hand instrument but the one above is a beauty, congratulations BB.

James1214 · February 20, 2013, 02:17:37 PM

welcome to the Ricky club. I've played my Jetglo 4003 almost daily for 9ish years. I love it so damn much.

bbottom · February 20, 2013, 07:28:55 PM

Well it arrived today

The shop forgot to take the pickup cover off which is kind of annoying but I'll deal.
The damn thing plays awesome and looks tits. I'm on the fence about getting a black pickguard and truss rod cover for it though. I have a weird hate thing for white pickguards

Once I get the Orange Rig in a few weeks I'll be a nuclear reactor of rock
