Introductions- Say hello here!

[Rich]

We're glad you're here, and want to get to know you. Name, location, interests.. whatever you are comfortable with. ;D

[Ludwig here]

Howdy
My name is Ludwig, also known as The Viking over at the TDPRI and GP&WF.

I am 36 years old, married, have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 4 chinchillas and a hamster.

Together with my dad I own and run a music store.

I also have a studio recording mostly acoustic or electric instruments since I am not too fond of synth's and loops. We also do some sound editing for TV cleaning up bad tracks, mixing debates and so on.

Together with a friend of mine I stared up a production company making music for TV-shows, commercials, infomercials and short movies.

I also write music, lyrics and perform live with a variety of bands lately with Rice Custom #60 strapped on running through an ENGL Classic 50 head and a ENGL custom made 4x10 Cabinet.

Hello,

My name is Jeremy and I'm an engineering student at Drexel U. in Philadelphia. I play mostly in worship settings and occasionally with friends bands. Currently I play a mij strat through a Richter 5e3 but am having Rich make me a hollow osprey out of some old barn wood from my grandmothers farm.

Hi

I'm Rich.. I'm an opinionated, outspoken gas-a-holic. I've been accused of having a screw loose, which I deny. The truth is, there are several screws hanging on by stripped threads. It's nice to know you, and I look forward to spending some quality time here. Hopefully, this will become a nice forum for all who participate. Thanks for signing up!

Pull up a chair, and relax!

I am a certified tele nut.I have recently taken up building teles and I have to say that there is a certain administrator here that is a real bad influence(in the best possible way)
For all you guys that have never had anything to do with Rich,I have to say that he has been nothing but great helping me with my own builds.You can tell he is a guy that truly loves what he does and it is quite obvious with his builds.I can see that this is going to be a great place to hang out.Just hope you don't get tired of my stupid questions Rich

John Breslin, Barrington, IL, also married, 4 kids, and a dog, but 45. In total tele bliss with Rice #092, the Piney. Good to be here at the Rice page. What incredible customer service Rich and Chris have. Thanks guys.

[Rich]

This is getting creepy.. Rich Rice, Arlington Heights, IL. Also married, with 4 kids, but the dog passed away. There seems to be a trend forming...

By the way, thanks for visiting, and for the kind words.

[chris]

Time to break the trend.

Christopher Rice, Arlington Heights, IL. Engaged, no kids, no dog. I do have an axolotl though.

Chris, check back in 20 years, and we'll see if you broke the trend!

Howdy,

My name is Gary. I'm 55 years old & reside in Elk Grove Village, IL. I'm married & we have 1 son & 2 golden retrievers. I'm a novice player & collector of Leo Fender era G&L guitars. Glad to be in the neighborhood.

[Rich]

Howdy neighbor! I figured you to be in New York.. Wow! Come on by sometime!

[joseywales]

Thanks for the invite, Rich. I'll take you up on that soon. Why New York?

[Rich]

I thought you were friends with RH. I still haven't figured out why he sold the guitar.. Maybe due to his carpal tunnel.. I hope you like it.

[joseywales]

10-4. I don't know why he sold it, but the price he was asking for it sure looked sweet to me. Strat style, burst finish & Lollars, what's not to like? :-)

[Rich]

Well, if it needs some setup work (We haven't seen it for a while) or if you have questions, you know where to ask.. LOL We're close to Rand & 53.
