i'd love to see this as a regular production color - perhaps now that ruby's been discontinued...?

i have 3 4003Ss so far. got a new maple from POTR last thanksgiving, a used jet a couple days later from a guy on reverb, and a new ruby from MF a couple weeks ago. now all i need is a midnight to match my 4 regular 4003 collection...

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