New! "Color of the Week"

bassduke49 · Post by **bassduke49** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 5:39 pm

For now, RIC has suspended the "Color of the Year" (COY) program, but for our entertainment, I'm offering this new thread, "Color of the Week." Each week, I'll pick one of the Rick finishes, and I invite one and all to post pictures of their instruments in that color right here.

OK, the labeled ping-pong balls are flying around in the air popper, and the first one to come out is -- TURQUOISE! OK, everyone with Turquoise instruments, post pictures for the week of Friday 26 Jan to Thursday 1 Feb.

To start off, here is the only Turquoise 4004 I've ever seen. It's a Laredo and belongs to John Hunt of Milwaukee. Nice!

I can't wait for "carved-oak-leaf-and-acorn-walnut" week.

Hey! Those aren't Tuquoise! We'll do the Van Halen 80s style some other week! ;^)

I really can't get over this Turq 4004. Stunning!

Maybe there is some turquoise in Jeff's rug?

That turquoise certainly is a looker.

Jeff feels as though the rules don't apply to him.

That's beautiful, Paul.

I know you've all seen it before, but here's my 325V59.

It never gets old, Melibee! One of the best Turq's around.
