Topic: I Got My Wings

I just ordered the # 9 of 100,  Dean USA Rik Emmett Triumph V Signature Guitar. I have been wonting one since its release in 2006 and the price has reduces considerably since then so I made the purchase today.

#12 & #33 are also listed on ebay at this time. I made a $2100 offer and got my wings… I will post some photos next week…

Re: I Got My Wings

Very Cool Bill....can't wait to see some pics

I was offered #2 but they wanted more than double what you are paying for it.  I mean I love Rik, and I have known Rik personally for a number of years but that was out of my price range.  Especially the fact I could have gotten one for $2,300 when they first came out from a local store.  From the last time I promoted a show for him here, I have a stack of the promo posters from Dean.  I think the novelty of the V for me has worn off...but that can always change...it comes and goes in stages...Now if it was his personal Framus guitar then I might have parted with that kind of $$$...LOL

I am sure you are going to love the V....i guess now I am jealous...you have guitars from two of my fav guitar players...any other artist models in your possession?

After I bought #9, I sent Spud an email to see if he had any of the posters that you talked about. He offered to sell me one that Rik has used. I guess I should had talked to him before I bought #9 sad

I did own a Carvin  Craig Chaquico, but I sold it to offset the purchase of #51 JBLP. I didn't care for the frets on it anyway. So IM happy...
