Very cool! Fred "Sonic" Smith, who is my favorite guitar player was known to play a 450 but fitted with Gibson PAF pickups for some reason.

Very cool guitar. Hope to snag one someday :)

Count me in! One of the best afternoons ever was spent in Amsterdam :-) when I found the Ricky main dealers by accident ( I seem always to get lost when in Amsterdam).
Tons of great guitar music featuring the ricky 'sound' . Awfully expensive though.
