Wow. A month has passed!

I'm finishing up one in (what the owner calls) "Wineglo", but which the rest of you all would call a darker, redder Mink. Pics soon.

I believe it's "harngelbglo", and I do have a very nice transparent honey-gold color that I'll be trying out on one soon...

"Hamgelbglo" would be a piggish-yellow, I think.

piggish-yellow....yeah that was the first thing I thought of. The second thing I though of was

Edelweiss, Edelweiss....etc. etc.

(I guess it's one of those jokes where you had to have been there.)

So im thinking about putting in an order within a month through my local dealer (they said average wait time is 2 years, and thats fine) It sounds like your taking orders for random colors....is that true?

Graham:

Your dealer is going from old information (YEARS old, in fact...). RIC suspended acoustic production about a year ago, and licensed me to produce them.

You will have to deal with me direct, not through your local dealer. I have no dealership network.

Not "random colors"...colors to customer order, in most cases. So I can do finishes that are quite different from the standard RIC finishes.

You can write me at the email address that's in my profile.

I like the Purpleburst and the other colors I have seen you do Paul.

Very good job!

Don't answer that...

I will answer that...

...not at all! I really do love that look. But that probably doesn't surprise considering the project you will be undertaking for me.
