2005 and 2006 COYs, or What I Did on My Summer Vacation

[miltric]

I started visiting this forum about four months ago. Over the course of three months, I acquired three new Ricks (to join the 330/6 MG I bought in 2005).

Coincidence? I think not.

The summer culminated with a 360/6 AFG and a 660/12 BBR. Perhaps I began to worry the COY program might be gone for good (i.e., for bad). Based on many hours spent reading these forums, I gather there are some here who are underwhelmed by the last two COYs. But I love them both. And they feel and sound great.

Here are some pics.

BEAUTIFUL guitars, both of them.

I especially love the shading of that 360 AFG....

AFG full-width inlays are really, really nice

Great finish on both of them! Or is that Photoshop?

BTW what's COY stand for? Color of the year?

Still have the guitar, still in near mint condition! Too bad the photo stinks!!! Hey, it's ten years old, cut me some slack!

I like it, J Dog! That would be another great picture for the Rics 'n' Roses thread that Scotty wants to see started....
