What is this Rick Worth?
What is your all's opinion about this Rick on Ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3743915749&fromMakeTrack=true
Does anyone know what they sound like compared to the full console ones like Gary Brandin uses on the Vanduras album?
Thanks as always,

I've owned that exact same model guitar for years and love it. It has a huge, complex tone when set up correctly and played through the right amp (something clean and warm) and amazing sustain. It sounds closer to a frying pan than the wood console Ricks, I think. I prefer to play mine on a stand rather than laying on my lap - the weight can just about put your legs to sleep. Overall, a big thumbs-up from me...

well, it looks like that one sold for over $1,600. I had no idea they'd gotten that valuable - the last I saw they were fetching well under $1,000. Even post-war Ricks seem to be appreciating by leaps and bounds lately.
Hey Herb, long time no see...I hope all is well with you. No, I haven't heard from your sis-inlaw - if you can, let me know if she's coming out to a show and I'll try to say hello.

I have one like that except it has a metal cover on the back (Alum). Wonderful tone. Bought mine in late 49 or 50. Played hundreds of nights in clubs and Radio,TV shows with this guitar. pulled it out couple years ago and recorded some tunes with it still has the Ricky growl.You can see a picture of it in the Lap Steel Guitar book by Andy Volk
