Fripperies Relaunched
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Feb 7, 2012
Our thanks to Karl Boman who has resurrected his Fripperies website which aims to detail RF's gear throughout the various eras of Crim and beyond.

Karl writes "Many, many moons ago I put together I website called "Fripperies" which sought to document the guitar equipment used by RF through the years. For various reasons of web hosting, it didn’t last very long. However, it never left my mind (nor my hard drive) and it is now my distinct pleasure to announce its re-launch!

At Fripperies you will find everything you never thought you needed to know about RF’s guitars, effects and amplifiers, whether referenced from outside sources or by original research by yours truly. I hope you enjoy"
