4004Cii5 - Jetglo ...yeah I want another one!!
4002
4003 Shadow
4003 Blackstar
4001V63

Although 4 of the above that I've mentioned are vintage classics, the way used Rick prices are going crazy, I think my future Ricquisitions will be new ones. As a matter of fact I'm thinking out what my next one will be...possibly that 4004Cii5 Jetglo.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

I went looking for my fireglow 4001 for a number of years before I found mine. They are not many of them around here and those that have one tend to keep them. Most of the rics up this way are jetglo or mapleglo.

I have always wanted to see a 4005 fireglo , let alone have one.

one of the very early pre 62 4000's

add a fireglo 68-72 checkerboard 4001/toaster

blackstar

1. 1974 4001 Azureglo (½" spacing and plain binding)
2. 4005WB Blueboy w/gold guard/TRC (hey, I can dream too, you know ;-)
3. 70's 4005 Burgundy - the one in The Ultimate Guitar Book
4. 1972 4001 Mapleglo or Jetglo (checkerboard binding, full width inlays)
5. 4001/3 white w/white trim

3. Any 1980 4001/4003 other than a FG/JG/White

4. A Shadow would be kind of fun
