i once had the chance to get a ricky like that (330 or 360, can't recall), i tried it out for a week but it was a oh-so-skinny neck and it was feeding back like crazy.
but they are nice. real nice! congrats!

Pat.
Thanks man!I can't even set up the guitars for a photo cuz the damn cat trys to knock them down like bowling pins.

Yeah Rickenbackers are strange machines,The neck on my 360v64 is really skinny.I just love them cuz I grew up in the 60's and every band on Shindig and Hullabaloo had one.

I hadn't seen it, no.
Damn, This is in super good shape. Unfortunately, I'm really looking at SG-200's, specifically but thanks for the tip, man!

Muchly apreciated.

I know there's one going for $1,500 BIN but that's just too expensive for my blood.
Baring in mind that a complete guitar in AAA condition, is actually worth about that,
and that my buying range is somewhere between $750 and $1,000 I will compromise
on condition but not on completenes, you know?

If you get sick of the V64 in 6 months, please, please, please let me know. I don't have many posts, but I'm good for it. My 360 is in dire need of an expensive refret, and it makes me sad.

Somehow I doubt you'll get sick of it, though.

Another Beksinski, which reminds me of the stuff I see in your house.

The thing is, I would never want to surround myself with these sorts of pictures, at least in a guest living room. Hence why I asked if you (or I suppose now, your girlfriend) was the artist. At least I can sort of understand that now.

Heh, I know Matt. I'll have to tell him his stuff is being posted in random guitar forum threads next time I see him.

Tell him that he is a bit of a cult icon. I doubt he realizes how many admirers he has across the country.

Does he ever sell prints of his work? If so tell him I would totally buy some for myself and friends.

(His brother is hilarious too, btw.)

He sells his stuff at his shows, I'd drop him a line to see if he'd mail something out: lardnardo@hotmail.com. His stuff is pretty pricey, though.

I think Matt knows his status pretty well, he's an excellent promoter. Beneath the shy, akward, art-fag exterior the dude knows how to be a good businessman. Either way, I'll let tell him Aeon sends props :)

I just thought of a name for your girlfriend's design sense..... "Wierdo-Kitsch" heheh, I love it though. It reminds me of some punk houses I've been too. Also, if you've ever seen that white stripes interview on youtube in their house, they have a very similar thing going on... except it's all red and white.

Edit: actually, this one house I went to in boston, actually had that entire series of pictures (with girl dancing by the record player).
