RIC Custom Colors?

This might be another dumb question, but it seems like Rickenbacker makes a limited run of custom color guitars every year. What are some of these colors and how do the prices run for nice examples? I've seen turquoise and baby blue guitars that are beautiful.

Bob: Welcome to The Rickenbacker Forum. You can see some of the color of the year choices here.

I think the add-on for the color of the year is about $100....it varies between vendors, but it's typically a little bit more than any of the standard colors.

And this year we'll have that special color run in addition to the color of the year..

Something special for the 75th anniversary!

Where can we find out more about it? Was it just a hint dropped by JH?

(I thought the Amber FG was the special and have a 340 AFG on order , but would LOVE to order another special edition model)

This was hinted by Ben Hall.

After much searching, I did find his post.

My wife thinks I'm one for waiting 18 months for the AFG 340!

Hmm. Sounds like home. You are just a very patient man in my books.

Check out the general forum "Differences in MID" thread archive.

I only read the first page on that thread (LOVE the dark MB blue, I have a brighter MB 360/12 that I do with was a shade or two darker.

I stopped reading once I realized I would have some super-expensive GAS for a dark blue 360. I now know that I'll have some GAS for a 75th 360.
