What Rickenbacker guitar/bass finish do you prefer?

[pauleway]

I've always wanted to do one in "Rootbeerburst".And I'm really tempted to make a mother of toilet seat pickguard for my 4003 so that it matches my Hofner.

That would have to be "RootbeerGlo" for a Rickenbacker !!

Har Har! Yes but whatever Todd is going to call it, I call it a winner.

I've actually seen a few different variations of AMBER FIREGLO, but I like the ones with a Yellow Center and Red Edges.

Bob, colour us on the same palette.

I put "other" because being a Beatles fan, I just can't picture my 320 in anything but JG, and my 360-12WB in anything but FG. And the 4002 only came in MG and WG, so I took what I could get: the WG.

I am partial to Montezuma Brown.

Me too, Graham. One of the earliest Rickenbacker finishes. I was so very glad to see it offered in 2003/04.

I have had Fireglo and got bored with it and I always think Jetglo like many blacks might have a tendency to chip. I love natural wood so I like Mapleglo the best.

I too love Mapleglo. As for the Jetglo, its finish is often easiest to repair depending on the chip.

Nobody else have love for Azureglo?

By far my favorite period color on a Rickenbacker, followed by Burgundyglo.

[Kiddwad57]

Azureglo, burgundy and turquoise all rate highly!

Azureglo for me too. My next Rick will be in Azureglo for sure!

Ofcourse the obvious beauty of Mapleglo is it doesn't chip and if it dents its not obvious and most of all you have the grain of the wood to keep you interested.

Andy, these are great points!

I voted for FireGlo, Midnight Blue and Ruby, but I also like AutumnGlo, which was not included on the list. I also like MapleGlo, but you could only vote for three.
