I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, you know they built it upside down? Man, that's going to be a mother to fix!

I saw that when I was over there the other day picking up mine. I love the look of that body - very nice. Every one should get a chance to play one of these Rice guitars. I'm sure you will be happy with it.

REALLY take-your-breath away beautiful. The binding on the natural wood looks amazing! And I know that Rice guitars sound even better than they look. Wow.

Would you believe it barely cracks 5-1/2 lbs?

Thanks all -- looking forward to playing and getting to know the guitar. I'll write a "review" once I've had a chance to familiarize myself with the guitar. The reverse bridge pickup is a little different but I think it'll work out nicely.
