| Dont mind me but something isnt right with that Ebay auction????? Ritchie until recently always had 12 over six doublenecks???? That guitar reminds me of a guitar recently built and may have had the custom label put in ???? I wonder if it is someone pretending to be???? You all know the black and white one plus the tripleneck he used on those tours??? Where the hell did this one com from??? Maybe im wrong??/ |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Also the star between the two necks is stuck on....weren't the stars on Richie's inlaid?
If you look close at the label it's wrinkled and torn (at the "New Hartford") like it has been removed,signed,then reinstalled!
.....but then again maybe not! :rolleyes:
(I also thought that Richie's dualnecks had a wider "V" seperation of the necks making the two bridges almost touch!) |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | I've done a little research on this guitar... Richie actually had two identical doublenecks with this finish made. One was donated to the R&R Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the other was sold for charity. Richie always added the MOP stars to his doublenecks I'm told.
I know of one custom ordered black doubleneck (#21) that had the MOP star made into the face of the guitar for Steve Fangadakis of One Light Burning band. From what I've been told from Steve (who knows Richie), Richie had about 18 doublenecks in all made. Most were black, at least one yellow with vines inlays on the necks, and one dark red with stars on the necks.
Mine was a custom order and the guy I got it from also said he had a Green and I think purple one made as well.
Is this the actual Sambora doubleneck that was actioned off?, only Fugot will be able to tell us that after running the serial number through the mothership I would think. |

Location: Paris/France | Hi,
I remember this guitar.
It was sold on Ebay for around 4500/5000$ (Feb 23,2005).
Chris Salisbury (in UK) was the previous owner of this guitar but I don't remember who was the buyer.
I've got a photo of Richie holding this guitar in his arms but I never published it on the site because I never had the authorization to use it!!
It's strange that the actual seller is using photos from the site...
Maybe he don't have a digital camera??? :rolleyes:
He wrote these words in the description:
Again this guitar is in the same condition I received it from Richie...
It's stange too because I don't think he never met Richie... :confused:
Very strange...
J :)

Location: boulder | hey all,
First, thanks to everyone who is watching my back on this one. Please know, I will not be cutting a check for this guitar without holding it in person. I have emailed the seller for serial #, how and when it was bought and who wrote the ebay description and took the photos.
We will see what they say.
Also i have been contacted by the previous owner who bought it from 'chris' who bought it from 'Richie'. Both deals were brokered by Rockstarguitars (www.rockstarguitars.com). {check out the pictures} according to the last owner, this guitar was sold by him for $20k after he bought it from 'chris' for $9k. He said he believed the guitar is now in Europe.
To be or not to be, that is the question. I mean I know I am educated beyond my intelligence, but even I can see no matter how much you shine bullsh*t, it's still bullsh*t.
thanks again for everyones help, Ill keep you posted.
PS, If you see a minivan full of guitars heading west in January of 2007, that's me. peace mike |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Have a good trip Waskel and be safe. Sidewalks and roofs in Oregon always have mold on them. I've had to scrape it off my folks' house. It has been wet here, though. Even snowed once, but we'll just let all those other guys think the Northwest is a crummy place to live. |
