Looks like a good price

I always thought those would look cool with a black TRC, pickguard and binding.

Someone should snatch that.
I agree Joey, black hardware would look better than white on that finish.

They look great with gold guards IMO.

They look awesome stock (white trim) IMHO. But I've blown all my GAS money, so I'll wait until Blueboys are really expensive and then I'll kick myself.

maybe i am in the minority here, but that color is hideous. it's even worse than the fireglo. i mean, it looks great cuz it's a rickenbacker and all, but that color...*shudder*

Sean: Give it a little time. Maybe Lemmy will get one of these. Would you play it then?

LOL!!

Actually , this finish kinda grows on you....sorta like the seafoam green??? hmmmm.....

Peter. no way! I'd even consider disowning Lemmy!

You can't disown Lemmy.....at least not with a giant Motorhead tattoo on your back !

I love the Blue Boy and the Sea Green....I just don't think they fit my style very well (if I even have a style). They are a little "soft" looking for my collection but still stunning.

For me it's the best Ric color ever. Azureglo has just been demoted to #2.

It might look good in a rockabilly or 50s rock gig, but who uses a Ric for that type of music?

phlemmy · Post by **phlemmy** » Mon May 09, 2005 1:51 am

dang brian. i forgot about the tattoo. still, i'm with you. a bit too soft for my tastes.

Just call me a softy!

Colour like music is totally subjective. When it comes to my guitars, I love blues and greens of all shades. Conversely I can't stand red or white instruments or black trim on Ricks. Why? Who knows. It makes the world interesting though.
