Yeah, I like the fretboard on that one as well. Congrats, Glenn. The finish-shading looks fairly uniform in this batch...

You know, I didn't even notice that (yet.) Thanks for the critique and sorry for the poor photo quality (need to upgrade my camera.)

It actually has a very nice, albeit subtle, wood grain pattern on top.

Added another one though!

Congratulations Mike. Another great guitar to add to your stable of Rickenbackers.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Sure is a sweet lil' thing. And the AFG in itself is beautiful! Should become a staple color!

What I saw at the factory (and the reason I finally decided on a 660 AFG) is the Amber in the CV really brings out the fingerboard. They look amazing!

Congrats on all you who just got their 1996s!
