Ric people are crazy as a whole, and I say that while holding my 325.

Heh.... it was some chipped paint that allowed me to be a ric 12 owner instead of merely a drooler. It's about a quarter-inch flake of exposed wood down around the back strap knob, totally hidden once you put a strap on. The shop knocked hundreds off the price.
But those narrow fretboards... They make you suffer to get that sound, unless you have girlyfingerz.

"water damage"
Looks more like brother man needs to lower his PH and stop sweating on guitars.

As the owner of a worn-in (mostly by me) 360, I have to say that a beat up Ric doesn't have the same appeal as a beat up Fender. I don't know whether it's the type of finish or what, but when I see a Ric with damage or mods my first reaction is to think "that's a shame." With a Fender, or most other guitars, I think "that guitar must really be a player." Does anyone know why that is?

Rics have never been associated with the beat-the-hell-out-of-the-guitar style of music? Maybe you could start a trend.

TBH, how many hollow-bodies or semis would get treated that way? A solid body you would think can take it, a hollow or semi you'd take more care of. Or, I would.

But they did their level best to make sure things were smashed properly. Let's not forget that.
Actually, I like their early stuff, up through "A Quick One."
