I take it the Rick (?) Bakelite with koa (?) panels is not for sale? What a gorgeous bunch of guitars, timing is awful for me but hopefully they'll get snapped up quickly.

That tortoise back on the frypan - I'm cryin' for the lack of cash!

Someone is going to be VERY happy with that Clinesmith. I only wish that it could be me...

What is the Rick looking guitar with Koa panels?

Geri had a Bakelite B6 with a broken neck. He asked Bill Hardin from Bear Creek guitars if he could make a new neck for it. In the process he turned it into a longer scale guitar as well. It's a maple neck painted black with gotoh tuners, abalone fret markers and rope binding. It's hold tune like a frypan now too! It is not for sale, and if it were I would buy it myself.

Heres another just like it for quite a bit more than I'm asking. It's all original.

Yes if you can please tell us what the back is made of if known. I've got an old rick with the backplate that has a piece missing and this looks pretty darn good to me. If I didn't already own one similar I'd buy it....

Thanks, Steve

I'm guessing, but I thinks it's bakelite.
