Rickenbacker Mintglo - what the?
stumbled across this photo...



Re: Rickenbacker Mintglo - what the?
That was probably taken at the factory tour during the 75th Anniversary celebration ... I think I have a similar picture somewhere ...found it!
There were a few test finish samples on the bench when we went through, and that was one of them.

If by strange you mean stunningly gorgeous, then I have to agree. There are pictures floating around of that built up, with a pretty extraordinary guitar stand, IIRC.

Re: Rickenbacker Mintglo - what the?
i like the finish. i'd just like to see their color transitions a little less harsh.
Re: Rickenbacker Mintglo - what the?
It might be a softer transition, photographing bursts of any kind usually come out "harsher" than reality.

Re: Rickenbacker Mintglo - what the?
yeah, but even most of the FGs and the like have a sudden transition.

Yeah that one is a little dramatic and therefore will never see the light of day as a COY.
Re: Rickenbacker Mintglo - what the?
And it's a completely different guitar than the one with the..ahem.."Guitar Stand". Different green altogether.

Re: Rickenbacker Mintglo - what the?
Does that mean the built up green burst might be a future COY candidate?

Highly doubtful...But never say never.captsandwich wrote:Does that mean the built up green burst might be a future COY candidate?
In fact, we're VERY close on what the next COY will be.
