How about some of the RIC folks? You guys can have a vote, too. We've heard from Eric - But John, Ben, Kenny? That are your favorite and least favorite colors?

Well, Mel, you and I are gonna get a lot of folks changing their minds about color in another week. The buzz will be Purpleburst and Mink, just wait and see.

How true, Paul. You two will be the center of a lot of attention. Yours and the 75th releases.

There will be some more surprises from Chez Curmudge...

Yeah.... what he said!!

Purpleburst and Mink.... Ohhhh yeah!

Just shined up my 325v59 TQ a couple of days ago, and it's looking better than ever.... the Scratch-X and Zymol treatment removed virtually ALL surface scratches, and the chrome gleams like never before--I think that one will be getting some attention, too!

Can't wait to see what else the Curmudge is going to be bringing!

Leaving for the Cities tomorrow, and flying out on Monday morning! Wooooohoooo!

Chirping in my yard, too. I really wish RIC would run Cheyenne's with genuine quilted maple again. I'd order one straight away.

Nice bass collection there Jared.

I think I like the translucents and bursts the most:
BBR, AFG, FG, MB

followed closely by the pastels:
DG, SG, BB, and the wilted white.

Of course in basses I have JG. But I prefer the above. It just happens that JG is the most ubiquitous (relatively) and I justed needed one immediately and that's what I could find.

I like MG if it's really charactered.
