Was she Fireglo, Jetglo, or Mapleglo?
They say mapleglo's have more fun.

No, she was dark and lovely, with flashing white eyes, er, checkered binding. A true eggplant Burgundy. She was born with it too, that color did not come from a bottle Yum!

Mark Gilbert - it is possible to have both walnut wings and a 4004:

John, I know, I know! When Paul does my bright white refin on my 05 Laredo later this year the walnut is going to be left exposed like a C.S.
I've already verified the walnut since I had to drill a 1/2" hole for the five string conversion and got a nice walnut/maple plug from the forstner bit cutting through.

It's going to be this color(below), although I've changed my mind on the black hardware. The black hardware is going on the jetglo Laredo(on order), I'm going to put chrome on the white Laredo because of the walnut wings, I think it goes better. The white and black Laredo's are replacing my white and black 4003's that I've sold in the past year.
