Don't know if I missed an existing thread, but a punk group called Against Me! was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien recently. The lead singer plays a 360 JG that is pretty prominently displayed and at the very end of the clip (I caught this on Youtube), Conan points to the 360 and the guy is showing...

Midnight blue changed about a year and a half ago. The current color is darker than the previous shade and has a JG (as opposed to silver) undercoat.

There were a slew of names we threw around for DCM. I, upon discovering the color that fateful day, advocated Metallic Burgundy. The wine monikers came a couple days later and my suggestion for Merlotglo was soundly rejected... I still remember opening that "Fireglo" paint container and lo...

The fact that we do not have to devise new models every year and spend millions on advertising and promotions to keep customers interested in our products is quite poor. That we had better innovate and listen to our customers more is obviously what Rickenbacker should do given our massive backlog. F...

There are several 360/12C63 JG's due for completion very shortly.

Another hefty round of 325C64's is slated for August completion for those of you wondering about those.

Never talked about it as far as I remember.

Is this guitar STILL for sale? I'm pretty sure we only made like two or three in this color and we ain't making any more!

That 650C AFG was so cool looking with the amber on the fretboard. There was some debate as to whether or not to keep it on there like that or to rework it without the amber. I really thought looked great on it.

I'm pretty sure I looked at that 650 D/S/C backlog and determined to knock it out substantially.

A lot of 650's will be on their merry way out of the RIC factory this month...

I'll add this, Eric came up with some sick COY 2007 possibilities after the 75th in September (two stood out especially for those in the know). One, however, my personal little project color has yet to be realized, Winterglo/Arcticglo. Yes, we may be talking about white here!

Wow, just noticed this thread! A lot of curious folks indeed, rightly so! They were first in line, but we made an abrupt schedule change to accomodate 620 orders a few months ago. All DCM orders should be filled by the end of April.
