No More Ruby!

Well that's unfortunate.

Nah, now we might see another colour appear perchance!

thanks for the heads-up. received my ruby 4003S today, ordered because i read this thread. ^_^

I think a ruby S model is going to be a relatively rare combo. (And a fabulous one).
Congrats,and of course,pics,please!!

Maybe its a compromise between color of the year and keeping up with orders. Color of the half decade.

Well, I just got my 360 in Ruby, so I'm set for now. I love the color. It just draws attention immediately, and it plays really well and stays in tune. I'm very pleased.

A few weeks ago over on the factory site we had little impromptu fun with the announcement. Mr H himself even joined in, so you could say that Ruby was given something of a sendup, er.. send-OFF

I guess there were still Rubies on order. Dave's guitar got a bunch of 660-12s late last week and there was a new Ruby. I snapped it up. Yay for me.

This is terrible news!

They should've done ruby+maple fretboard. Making it unique enough, it'd have seen more sales and would've looked prettier imo.

I love lighter greens, white, or bright red with maple necks.

Things don't have to change. Sometimes a step forward is the way back.

UPS just dropped off my Ruby 660-12. S/N begins with 1827-not an NOS piece. 30 months after discontinuing the color. There may be a few more in the pipeline yet.
