It may cause me to order a standard 4003 with the new walnut wings, amber fireglo and.....vintage pickup? Yeah, that sounds good.....

Pfft! That's lame! Couldn't they have just made their recent FG's less pink? Then we could have a new CoY. The vintage look is nice, but I wouldn't want to pay extra for a normal color.

Hmm...John Hall said no new color "per se". My wife brought up an interesting point..what if it's not a color but a pattern of some sort? Plaid, paisley, checkerboard maybe?

I don't think it's lame, Nate. The COY will have a cool vintage look especially with the walnut head wings...it would be awesome if checkered binding came with COY on a 4003.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

I think that might be a possibility also check out the 300 series guitars.

Naw, we tried some samples and were considering it but it just wasn't that interesting.
