I've never played one. But I think I remember they can be compared to Greco (which is excellent)

I love this one. The pink with the skulls is a great combination :thumbsup:

If I'm translating correctly, they cost around $800 USD for most models with out shipping.  The '10 foot Naoki' model is $1500.  When you break it down to parts, that EB 3 pup set cost the manufacturer less than $30, and the bridge less than $15, etc. The Rics are all bolt on necks as are 2 of the 3 higher end models.

Difficult to justify those prices in the world market IMO...An Epi Pro IV with thru neck is less than $500 in the US.

I have to agree with you on the looks of that one.

I dig those too, but I really dislike 24 fret fingerboards. The Rics are nasty, but the Gibson stuff is cool.

Like a moped, right?

If you're talking about moped I have to think about: Tepels als brommerhandvatten.

Linda de Mol used to have very big flaporen. She had surgery.
