*A fellow forum member is giving me a case (all I have to do is pay shipping). With his permission, I will sing his praises publicly, and make a donation to the forum once the case arrives.*

I had Hugh Briley make a case for my B6 and it turned out superb. Fits really well.

Well, it seems I now have two Ricks. I just found an NS Model (Grey, Sheet Metal) in wonderful shape for $300, so I couldn't resist. Now I'm gonna need at least one good case.
About how much did that case run you, Tom? And who do I talk to?
Thanks!

Mark, I have an original Rick "panda" case. It's a spare, I have two cases and one Panda. It's missing a handle but you can put a handle on it. Let me know if you want it. It's the form fitting one, not a rectangle. Pre War I believe. I got it with my Frypan which doesn't fit in there so well.
Steve

I found a baritone ukelele case that fits fairly well.
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Musicians-Gear/Baritone-Ukulele-Case.gc#productDetail
inside the case, the neck support structure is too high for the neck of the rick. however, if you remove the screws that hold the support in place, you can take it out and re-arrange the pieces so that the neck height is spot on, and the side to side support for the neck is perfect. screw the pieces in place with the original screws.
the case is maybe 2 inches too long in the space for the body of the guitar - I roll up a cloth and tuck it next to the tailpiece.
good luck,
sang
ps., my first post, so apologies in advance if done incorrectly . . . |
