Holy tits! That thing is sexy, purple, and extremely thin! The finish reminds me of the JPX. Really nice score dude, my jealousy ratings are off the charts

Dude that is an epic guitar :hbang: I can't wait for my BRJ to get here :drool:

If only I had the patience to wait a year for a guitar to be made.

They don't even take that long dude :yesway: I ordered mine about 8 months ago and it will probably be done soon - that's with some SERIOUS delays.

What is a lipstick jack? I'm assuming its a recessed jack. Could you post a pic please? I may want to add that to the order I have in.

ill get a pic when i get the guitar back. it basically means recessed, yes. the jack is a singular contained unit, vs having a mounting plate, etc.

nice screen name btw :yesway:

Thanks! I think I want that. I just never saw any of the other Ricos with that style jack. Your guitar is awesome btw. I just ordered mine. It will be forever.

UMMM! THIS GUITAR IS AMAZING!!!

LOVE THE CAMO BKPs, but I like slightly estravagant guitars. This guitar has everything I would ever want, probably would be the end all for me. How do you like the Kahler? I love the slim body too, I was looking at Parkers, but this is looks like the best of both worlds.


KILLER GUITAR MAN, time to change the pants:wavey:



they are actually quite a bit darker in real life then depicted in the picture nick took of them. I think it matches quite nicely, if slightly extravagant :)

thanks man, the camo bkp are amazing, yes :yesway:

the kahler is super nice, high quality build, but i need to have more time with it. i mostly wanted it so i can have the option of a trem, but also something super tweakable/adjustable for supremely low/perfect action. also i use the bridge locked down 99% of the time, so its awesome having tuning stability and fine tuners :hbang:
