Got a Ric-NGD
Found a great deal on St. Louis CL, so I couldn't pass it up. She sounds great. It's my first non-Gretsch electric. Hope I don't get kicked off GT.
I got it about two weeks ago, but I've been too busy to take pics. So I waited 'til now to post. You know the rules. No pics-it didn't happen.

Oh - let the jangle begin. You're a lucky guy to be able to park a Ric next to a Gretsch. I bet you'd provide a Tele with a nice home, too.  |

That's really nice, congratulations.
I really love Rics and have to say truly respect their values, as in not cutting corners to increase volume numbers, not outsourcing manufacturing and not having an 'entry level' range which takes a pretty brave company these days.
Had my FG 660-12 for some years now and will never part with it, sounds great,plays well and is a thing of beauty

And they sell 'em as fast as they make 'em.

I don't know about a Tele, they have that darn 25.5" scale. I am taking anti-GAS medicine for Jaguars right now. |

The scale length is 24.6", so I seem to get along with the neck just fine, |
