I would LOVE a Comstock 12-string in Blueburst....but right now I'm saving for an electric in that shade....I hope to be able to order one before the year is over! Still trying to make up my mind about which one <grin>....

Ah, Melissa, we should all have your problems...

I wish I had an indulgent husband, but I'm a guy and I have to BE an indulgent husband.

And father to my 8 year-old daughter. THAT is the definition of indulgent...

Order one before the end of the year, Melissa!! You should have plenty of time to save for it and the waiting will be tenterhook tingling! (not to mention frustrating, depressing, hair-tearing, tear-inducing, etc, etc.......).

Paul: I'm still indulging my daughter and she's nearly 23! Add a 16 year old son who's into playing heavy metal and indulgent ain't the word!!

The FireGlo acoustics look really sweet and really make the gold nameplates and hardware jump out at you.

As for Gibson bursts... I've always preferred FireGlo to their cherry burst... I had a honey burst Strings and Things that was really nice. I have not seen MontyBrown in person, but it just looks weird on a Rick to me. Not ever really crazy about AutumnGlo either.

BlueBoy acoustic... Hmmmm. Now there is a look.

Gibson tobacco burst, Jim........ now there's a good look (IMO)!!

The Ibanez one isn't too shabby either!

Hmmmm.... Howard, I do plan to order some kind of Blueburst before the end of the year--I hadn't seriously thought about another acoustic, but maybe.... Lately my Comstock has been getting more attention than my electrics--I am really loving it, and keep wondering how it would sound if it had 12 strings--it already sounds incredible with 6.... But RIC isn't currently taking orders for acoustics, are they?

No they are not Melissa. I'm left to just be jelous of you until they take orders again.

Don't be too jealous of me, Neil--your Blueburst acoustic is beautiful, even if it's not a Ric!
