Oh, and if RIC allowed public access to their factory cams, I postulate that there would be 4 times as many threads with topics such as "I Just Saw MY ____ being crafted today" with tons of queries asking when their ___ is being shipped because they swore they saw it already made and why is it taking so long when theirs was clearly made already.

Me? I like the mystery.

That being said, I do appreciate the random factory tour when RIC feels like allowing it. It gives a greater appreciation to the craft put into the product.

Gosh, is there really such a thing as life without Rickenbacker?

Why, that's unimaginable.

Wow, you can really see the metallic qualities of that finish on the headstock.

I don't normally like to admit it in public, but ive always wanted a purpleburst!

Me too! Besides my own 330, that is the nicest Purpleburst I have ever seen....

But I think it needs gold guards and oven knobs, like mine!

I hope a Forumite gets this guitar!

That's a phenomenal finish on that guitar. The purple is really eye-popping.

These colors upset me but I'll keep quiet. It's nice though.

Oh, no green. Never, no how, no way. Loud and clear so people on other boards hear this announcement. I have been known to change my mind though!

If not green, then how about that RED y'all used to use?

Or this:

What about the Sea Green COY?

Or the "Kermit Burst" that was applied to Vanessa Bui's guitar?
