Howard,

That guitar is absolutely a beauty. I've never been a fan of turquoise, but that guitar is way too cool.

Congrats, Aitch (if I may call you that)

Of course, Joe!! I'd rather be called that than a lot of other things I've copped over the years..........

I was always a bit on the fence with turquoise until I saw the pics of Melissa's little beauty (c'mon Melissa..... more, please!!) and a shot of a 660/12 somewhere. There was a 330/6 TQ in Melbourne last year which I didn't really like at all, but I think the small-bodied Ricks look great in the colour.

Anyway, the 330/6 went black after a fire in the store. A different type of Fireglo!!

More like Minorman, Melissa!!

I like Turquoise on all models including this 330/12 VP.

I gotta admit, all these years:

Fireglo -- Of course, no-brainer
Jetglo -- Another "duh". Classy, need for the Beatle vibe.
Mapleglo -- First time I saw a guitar that wasn't "painted", and of COURSE it was beautiful
Burgundy-and-the-other-glos -- OK, made sense, nothing too far off the beaten path.

But "turquoise"....hmmmm. Just couldn't put my arms around that.

You guys have made a believer out of me. These examples are incredibly beautiful! And the gold guards...wow.

Ahem. Er, uh, excuse me...I, uh, need to go read this month's "Guns & Ammo" and then go watch football or something.

I suppose I'll eventually have to take some new pics with some new background to keep you all happy....

Definitely the color choice of cool people! ;)

I really love a bigsby on a Ric. That is a fantastic looking gtr Melissa. I have had it in mind for a long time to fit a bigsby to a 330....looking at your gtr makes me think that this may happen sooner rather than later!
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Melissa, stop!

I'm beginning to regret my recent antique Autumnglo decision...

It's time to start looking for another 320, I think.

Melissa, I was going to say the same as Paul: "Stop The Madness".... Are you like this with ALL the boys?? You're dangling a bottle of Jack Daniels in front of an alcoholic....

Must...have.....turquoise....Ric....stop...me...

Jeez, that is pretty!

Paul, Melissa's guitar is beautiful, but you should never regret the antique Autumnglo you put on your 320. That is absolutely stunning. And unique.
