It appears that Jetglow and Fireglow in lefty are back in regular production. I was tipped off by a friend at L&M up here that they have a couple in the system as well.

which makes total sense. I can't see Ric producing a run of just 3 lefty's :-)
Where the rest of the batch will end up is anyone's guess. Ric's delivery comittments are as squirrely as their production methodology.

Interesting that the Ric's are the only instruments on the page that don't have a price listing... why so secretive? If you have to ask, you can't afford it! :) Although by now, as lefties, we know just about every price out there on basses, so they're not going to shock us by posting the price if they so desire....

My sentiments exactly. They can post a $4700 Les Paul Goldtop but can't list the Rick prices? That usually means there's a suggested retail price and then a "negotiable" MAP price. (minimum advertised price). So be prepared to haggle, 'cause Wildwood's been given free reign to price it however they choose within those parameters.

Is maplego really just too much to ask for? That and a Sunn 200s is all I want in life.

God forbid ruby red.

This Tikibird is really cool and the YouTube demo the fan made is nice (and concise!). I can't quite understand the hostility to the lefties in the comments section though:

I think it's a MAP restriction. I used to work for a music store that listed "email for price" on Rics- because this is what was required by Ric.
