Welcome Dusty,

Dale's got it right - the AFG is like a regular fireglo, but the "amber" makes it look like well aged lacquer, and gives it a nice warm finish. For me, it is much more attractive than the regular fireglo.

Paul's got a good point too - it's best if you could compare them side by ...

Glad you guys enjoyed the pics. I took one of the inlays too, just forgot to post it... They are nicely ambered as well.

And a little more binding detail:

Here's the headstock...

A couple of more photos, as requested... I have to say that the slim neck profile is sweet! Very fast...

Just got my 4003 AFG this afternoon - here she is...

OK, just got home with an Eden CXC210, so now I am all set for Monday when my 4003 AFG arrives...

Thanks everyone!

First off, I want to say this is a great board! You guys have all been really helpful.

Steve, I went up to Music City Guitar last night - quite an interesting place, very old school. Looks like it used to be a movie theater at one time... At any rate, I was able to try out the B100R, an N15S and ...

Of course a clean vintage V4B and a small cab would be nice too, if I could find one <grin>.

Boy, you guys are great - I never even thought about the Ashdowns. I was mostly looking for input on the B100R/B200R, and the new Fender Bassmans as I haven't been able to find any here on Detroit's west side.

J Gary, I'm planning on stopping at Low Down Sound Saturday, and I'll try to get over ...

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker... I ordered my first Ric bass a few months ago, and due to a stroke of luck it is on it's way to me 4 months early. So now I need to find the right amp.

I'm just planning on home and studio use, but I like the sound of a 15 inch cab. I went to GC yesterday to try ...
