Can someone post some pictures of a modern FG and a vintage FG so we can see the actual differences?

Did I miss something in the other posts? The link provided shows the amber fireglo, and under it says "color of the year"!

Superb new colour for 2006 !!!

Now, let`s hope for an announcement at NAMM on a new Bass, a vintage, or a signature model maybe ?

You won't have to wait until NAMM for one of these.

"You won't have to wait until NAMM for one of these."

A new model?

Thanks JH for the quick input. I am excited that you took the time to reply personnally to my post !!!!

One question: is this, like all other COY's, no longer available after 2006?
I know, dumb question, but I thought I remembered something about this possibly being an option available from now on.

Maybe I'm just tired & can't distinguish between past speculation & the final reality

Anyway, I like it more every time I see it, though there's nothing wrong with the standard FG.

AFG looks like Montezuma to me!

I wonder what thew new thing is....any guesses?

johnhall · Post by **johnhall** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 12:39 pm

Huh? Maybe you need a monitor adjustment. Montezuma was distinctly brown while Amber Fireglo is distinctly red with a yellow clear coat.

AFG will not be available beyond 2006. It will also be standard on the new . . . oops, not quite yet.

As I see it the big advantage to the COY this year is that in a couple of years we'll be able to argue about whether some camera-phone snapshot photo in an Ebay auction depicts a Rick product in amber fireglo, original fireglo, montezuma brown or autumnglo.

That's one more, innit?

I already have trouble with AutumnGlo & older FireGlo

Never seen AG up close

If I ever get my 4080 refinished that's my choice. Much like what Dale is doing for Dave right now!
But that AFG is very tempting!

Damn! John Hall,you did it again.LOL

One question should I hold off on getting Dale, to put checkerboard binding and wide MOP inlays on a brand new 4003???

turlu · Post by **turlu** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 2:32 pm

JH,

I am just waiting for this announcement to treat myself for my upcoming promotion at my place of employment !!!

Can`t wait !

Thanks for all the info you are giving and to hold the suspense !!!
