Interesting.  I paid less for each of the first two mobile homes I lived in.

If you can find a Gumby headstock Ric neck, it's fairly easy for a builder to replicate the F style body. It's just a flat top hollow body. Not nearly as complicated as replicating the carved, German-shouldered, hollowed-out bodies on their other models. It may even sound better.

No doubt you could, but what does that have to do with this one?

Just a thought. F style Rics are impossible to find, and if someone likes them this is the only way to sort of get one.
