Fireglo, Blueburst, or Jetglo...

Post by clearblue »

If you only had one RIC and it was a 330 in Fireglo which color would you get in a 350v63?

All three!!

Seriously, it's a very personal thing but if 'twere me I'd go for Jetglo. I think Mapleglo would be my second choice but you haven't given me the option Dan, have you??

Sorry but I haven't. (Nothing against Mapleglo) I'm just not a fan of that color.

Once you have one fireglo Dan, the only colour that will truly compliment it.....is another fireglo!

No probs, Dan. As I've said a number of times here, 'each to his own...'.

It's just that both my 330/6 and 660/12 are FG and perhaps I'm a little 'Fireglo'd out'!!

I'm looking for a bit of variety next time but if I can only get a 360/6 in FG then so be it!!

If only.......... there's both a Jetglo and Mapleglo 360/6 hanging on the wall down here.........

Yeah, I'm thinking the same way. Even though blue is my favorite color, I like the way fireglo goes with the neck of the guitar.

Are you calling Howard a redneck?

Jetglo works for me too but If I ever sold the 330 (heaven forbid) then I'd have to get another fireglo in a 620 or something.

I have 5 fireglos & you just can't get fed up with it. There is something to be said about having matching gtrs....they really look fantastic individualy & stunning as a group.

You're right, Dan. The body and neck are a great contrast.

Actually, Paul, I'm a wrinkleneck!

Hmmmm.... just realised I've done my 500th post!

There's only one answer to that question:

BLUEBURST!

If you're going to be buying a Ric this year, why settle for anything else?
