2006 Color of the Year Poll

Howdy,

What "Color of the Year" would you like to see from Rickenbacker next year?
I'd like to see an "Antique Maple-Glo"; a honey type butterscotch blonde, if you will. What about you?

Respectfully,
Larry Carroll

Blueburst!

Why not do something different?

Offer checker binding on all models that have binding.
I would pay up to $500.00 for that option.
But I would only buy 5 guitars and 5 basses.
So Ric has a guarantee of 10 Units.

Well back to real world….

Purple burst………

Who's to say, but it will be the 75th Anniversary of the company. I have no particular choice, but who knows what JH may do, maybe chartreuse ,then again, hopefully not.

My first choice would be white. A white 4003 w/ white trim and chrome hardware and a vintage pickup would be right up my alley.

My second choice would be Ruby. I'd order the same combination.

Hey - if it's the anniversary, how about lots of gold trim? There's definately been a model that had gold tuning pegs before - why not gold hardware all over?! Gold "R" tailpiece, gold toasters, gold bridge, gold scratch plate/TRC. It's look pretty sweet on a fireglo I reckon.

Butterscotch or white both seem reasonable - we've seen a fair number of reddish and blue COYs lately.

For the anniversary celebration, how about every previous COY available for order during 2006?

SnotGlo. Nah, just kidding, I say make them all JetGlo. OK, still kidding (not really). How about orange, I'll take an orange guitar. Orange you glad you asked (har har ...)

Snotglo. A friend of mine already has one of those. It's on a Univox.

I don't know why I went for Greenburst, when 7 of my 8 Rics are fireglo.....

How can you better fireglo...

Can fireglo be a colour of the year?

I've got it....that beautiful early '90's fireglo...reissue!

IMHO the guitar Gods retch every time a blue guitar is made.... or is that just me retching?

I say the new color should be dark gray to light gray burst. Boring you say? COOL I say!

I'm with you, Kent, a silverburst (dark to light) would look really nice, in my opinion.
