Rick

As it has been such a long time between drinks, I think it may be fitting to introduce you to my new son, Rick:

Rick is not exactly new, he was born in 1998, but I have only just signed off on custody. The custody period was somewhat short; some would go so far as to call it a ‘whim’. I would strongly oppose such harmful remarks; when you make these life changing decisions you have inevitably had a degree of forethought, above and beyond any snap, hungover decision made whilst looking at a music sale down the street. No no, Rich was a glimmer in my eye for a while before the papers where signed.

Rick’s previous custodians, Jackson’s, act much the same way as an exclusive ‘library’ in so much as Rick could be traded for a younger, sexier model in the future. Did anyone say Gibson ES 335? Anyone? Okay I did… In a few years (or next year as it may seem).

Rick is the proud brother of Tele, his younger yet older brother. Tele is a 2007 baby, but a 60th Anniversary. Hmm, interesting middle ground.

Next stop, significant amplification… and more expense… but they are our future, we do have to invest in our children.
