Well,,,, Ricky is in the hospital, and I think it would be nice for all of us that have had him work on our guitars to post pics of his stunning work!
Here's mine. It started out as a 3&1, with no coil tap. Ricky told me to look and see how many wires there were from the pickup. One was taped off! Ricky did his magic with John's parts, and it's now a 3&6, with a coil tap. Stunning work! Let's see more of his work! And say your prayers for him, please!
And zoom in on the undercarriage to see amazing work!

Here's my Blondey! And Ricky sent this picture of him playing it from the NY Times. He toured w/my Sho~Bud about 8 months...even went to France! He left not one lick, but guaranteed the mojo was there, I just have to find it! Get well, Ricky!

Here's my 1970 Professional that James sold to me and Ricky put together. Best sounding steel I've ever owned. Plays like a charm too!
