The Steel Guitar Forum

I happened to scan thru the pictures and saw RA on the end. The description also refers to him.
Link to auction on eBay.

Which "Rick" are you referring to? The seller is based in Florida, and as far as I know, Rick Aiello hasn't passed on. The initials "RA" on the end of one of the necks could be anybody.

This is from the description:

"Lovingly maintained and played by a recently passed shining light in the steel guitar world."

Rick Alexander?

I would agree that it seems to be a nice one, but not "rare" as stated. That's a common word on ebay for old items. A good price though, like George said.

"RACo" is the company name that Rick used with regard to his CDs & DVDs......just in case anybody is wondering......

I am somewhat of a novice here. I have always been impressed with the late and great Rick Alexander. He was a huge ambasador to this forum, and music. I have seen one of his guitars for sale here on forum. Does anybody know if any more of his arsenal of fine instruments will be offered for sale?

FYI I bought Rick's Guyatone from a seller in Florida.

Seems much of his stuff has already gone on ebay, including his possibly rarest and best piece that went cheap but was too large to ship.

I am Rick Alexander's wife, or I guess I have to say widow now. I was forced to put Rick's possessions in storage. In December, we had an unexpected flood in Florida. Unfortunately, it hit the storage units and most everything was water damaged. It was heartbreaking to see. I was alone, overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. One of Rick's friends introduced me to a dealer, who bought what was salvageable on the top shelves and helped me clean everything up. He is a very nice, honest person, who treated me with much kindness and respect, when I was devastated. He can be contacted on Ebay, or you can PM me and I will provide his phone number. Hope this clears things up.

Thanks very much for the information, Cathe. I'm still so sorry for your loss, and send you my best regards.

Thank you, Brad. It was very kind of you to say that. I appreciate it. I know I share the loss with a lot of people. His untimely death left a big void. It was my intention to make his things available to his friends, but due to those unfortunate circumstances, was unable to do it.
