never been this excited about a guitar purchase before, wanted to be a ric owner for a long long time. Too cheap to not justify, since they never sell that cheap even used unless they're beat to shit. Will poast pics!
Good thing you ordered:The Rickenbacker sale at MF is now over.

Finboy posted that it was on until july 25th... dare I ask how you found out it was over?

I'm glad it is because part of me was feeling like ordering a fireglo 360 as well just because of how amazing of a deal it is. In reality my next rick out of necessity has to be a 12 string.

There was a mix up with my phone number on my bank account so they postponed shipping until it was straightened out. I'm getting the guitar on friday (saturday at the latest)

Congrats! I called MF last night.I had heard from a friend on the Rickenbacker that the sale was over but I called myself just to make sure.They still have 330's and 360's but the price is back to $1799 and $2249.

Those prices are pretty balls. My local shop (http://parkwaymusic.com) sells them for like $1400 and $1800 respectfully (not 100% sure on the price of the latter, but to give you an idea, they had a brand new 12 string 330 for like $50 less than MF sells their 6 string version for.

I'm a little peeved that I didn't get it in time for the show I'm playing friday (well it's scheduled to arrive friday but if no one's home to sign for it then I'll just wait til saturday). I won't play out with a guitar I just got that same day, it's sacrilege.
