I just bought my first Martin! A CF-1 collaboration
between Martin and Dale Unger of American Archtops.
Since the Summer of 1991 when I attended a builder's
convention, I have come to appreciate the painstaking and
deliberate process involved in creating an archtop guitar.
A flat top will tell you everything about it in about 5 minutes,
an archtop takes that much time to warm up. Fortune and
opportunity smiled yesterday and I am still savoring the moment.
Kind of reminds me of April 1991 when I bought my Ric 360/12,
I just couldn't put it down.

Well the list has changed again!
I still have a Ric 360/12 JG and a 360/6 FG, Plus:

Fender Electric XII (1967)
Fender Pink Paisley Strat (1987-ish)
1996 Fender Jaguar
2008 Fender FSR Thinskin Jazzmaster
Fender Squier Tele (1987)
Tokai Strat (1982)
Epiphone Korina SG
1995 Epiphone G400 SG
2001 Epiphone Firebird VII
Peerless Songbird (Epiphone Casino lookeelikee)
2009 Hofner Verythin CT

I have a varied collection...mostly electrics in addition to my cherished Ric 620 and 330....

Gretsch Jet Firebird
Deusenberg CC
Gordon Smith Galaxy and LP Junior type
Eastman archtop acoustic
Epi Sheraton
Peerless NewYork
Fender Strat and Tele
Vintage J160e copy.....

I reckon I'll repost my collection...

Gibson SG 2005 - Main guitar
Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster 2008
Gibson L6-S 1976, with a pickup mod
Modded Squier '51 (There is a whole forum of '51 modders)
Fender Classic Player Strat (Notice I don't own American Fenders...)
Rickenbacker 620/12
Tacoma DM9 - 2007, around the time Fender bought the company, then shut it down. Made in Washington.

Future guitars: Rickenbacker 620... I want a 610 too. Plus, I like the 400 models, and I wouldn't mind having my 2010 360 back... That would be nice.

After a few years, my collection has grown a bit as well:

- 2002 Ric 360/6 - Burgandyglo (my first 6 string and it still sounds amazing with the high-gains)
- 1991 Ric 381v69/12 - Jetglo (high gains as well)
- 2010 Ric 4001v63 - Jetglo
- 1990 Pedulla MVP4 - Peacock-burst?
- 1959 Ric 450 - Black (did they even refer to it as "Jetglo" back then? It's clearly been through a war: broken headstock repaired, refinished ages ago, re-cut pickguard, new toasters... but it sounds like an absolute monster and it's probably the most versatile 6-string I've played)
- 1966 Guild Starfire XII - Amber/Brown/Cherry (not really sure about the color, but it clearly spent a lot of time in smokey places because it took 2+ years to get rid of that smell)
- 1954 Harmony H42 Newport Stratotone - Sunshine Yellow (has to be re-tuned after every song but that one neck pickup sounds fantastic)
- 1968 Standel 430C - Cherry (like a Casino or 330 with a super thin neck... sounds incredible with the deArmonds and an old Gretsch amp)
- 1969 Fender Mustang - Competition Orange (in absolutely amazing shape - great little neck pickup too!)
- 2011 Fano SP6 - Surf Green (a hybrid of a telecaster and a Les Paul Jr. with a TV Jones Powertron at the neck)
- an old 60s Kay Plywood bass

I have a new Telecaster, and recently reacquired my Squier Jagmaster.

New to the forum; not to Rics... in the mid '80's through the mid '90's I owned 19 of them- at once. Now that I have, essentially, become my grandfather and no longer "play out" (at least I haven't for some time now) I've trimmed my list down to:
-Ric 660/12
-Tele Deluxe
-Alvarez-Yairi Dreadnaught 12 (can't think of the model off hand)
-2 Davy Stuart citterns (10 string): 24" and a 16"

I posted a while back but I think it's changed...

330
360
Les Paul Classic
SG Faded
ES125
Ashbory bass
Ovation Custom Balladeer

A variety, but mostly Reverend, both USA and Import models.

First, I have a confession to make; All my guitars are OTHER guitars. In my defense, however, I am a Bass player, and have 2 Ricks in my herd; An '01 4003 and a '73 4001. I never really wanted to play guitar, because of my fingers - short and very thick. Basses work much better for me. Anyhow, the list (all are leftys)-
-Jay Turser Telecaster clone
-Hagstrom Swede (Gold Top)
-Epiphone Sheraton II
-Epiphone EA-250
-another EA-250 that someone converted to a lefty, and grafted an Epi 12-string acoustic neck on it. Doesn't sound too bad, either; at least, it wouldn't if I was able to fret less than 4 or 5 strings with one finger!

Will I ever get a Rickenbacker guitar? Probably not. Leftys are scarce, very expensive when you find one, and why should I deprive a lefty GUITAR player of something he can really use and enjoy?
