I used to have a Jetglo 330. I liked it, and thought it was more versatile than what people give them credit for. I made the mistake of putting toasters in my one, when the high gain stock pups were more than fine. I would've liked to have kept it, but unfortunately collecting guitars is something I can't afford.

I'd love a 12string in the Montezuma Brown finish :P

I have a fireglo 330. It is has a unique sound and a great look but the fretboard is a bit thin for me. Feels thinner than my Tele (which is perfect).

Wow, this Ricky thread is bringing all you lurkers out!

Come on, don't be shy...post more, about anything.

nikar, have you got it yet? Thoughts?

There were a pile of blue Ricky's on eBay about 2 years back, all for $1300 USD. I came so close so many times but the memory of the small frets and biting treble fixed that. I'm probably not worthy of owning a Ricky because when I've heard one at the hands of a master I am always in awe of how good it sounds.
