I'm going to start printing these fireglo pictures and taping them to my ceiling so that when I wake up, I'm motivated to go to work after school. That's the only way I'll be able to keep going :p.

I thought that the guitar was only available in Fireglo. Was this one of the guitars that had unperfect wood character? I sure wish that I could order this in Blueburst!

A few JG 4001C64s have been made as well. I believe it did have to do with the appearance of the wood. Thats fine with me, i like being different. :-0

Yep, both ways..regular and 'S' model. Southpaw even had or may still have a left-handed C64 in Jetglo. Quite cool.

Two so far, by my accounting. I recently asked for a price on one in stock (Music Zoo, if you wanna know). Very close to factory list, so if anybody is hot to have a JG one (wish I had the shekels), MZ is your place.

Sorry, Joe, you said V63. I was talking about C63s. I'm alphabetically challenged today, I guess.

How could you have a jetglo 4001c64s? I thought they had a satin finish.

Or did they just paint a sanded body jetglo?

No, it was a gloss black finish.

Chris at 'Pick of the Ricks' sent an order in for one, and they made it...I saw it back in November right after it arrived. Sweet. It wasn't around long!!

I don't agree that the MSRP is too much. I think it's set to give dealers a fair profit, and I do agree that price will stabilize in time at a more reasonable level. However, the Jetglo will be a rare one, as even Rick states FG only on their website.
