COY for 2010 ???

[cjj]

No skipping years - We haven't even discussed the COY for 2011 yet.

I was just assuming there wouldn't be a COY for 2011...

[quote="kiramdear"] I vote for tie-dye.

Kira, is that a real paint job on a Ric ... or are you tinkering with Photo-shop or some other software ???
Of course there was that famous Cream SG that Clapton had, with the psychedelic design by "The Fool"

[longhouse]

Given my deathly, violent allergy to all things tie-dye, I'm hoping it's photoshopped.

I mean, who would do that to a beautiful Rickenbacker?

Yeah, that's a Photoshop job, in my usual hack quality if you can see the hi-res version. I must admit it looks pretty good in the reduced version, though - sometimes I get lucky. I'll take your question as a compliment and thank you!

I do love EC's "Fool" SG! Love for these kinds of psychedelic designs is still alive and kicking here in Northern California.

+2 for Kira's tie-dye. If production at RIC continues as it has, it's got just as good of a chance of being the COY for 2010 as anything else.

I just want to know how they get the guitar all twisted up into a knot to apply the colors...

You're not the first to mention that detail, CJ. Well I guess if they decide to do it that the technical problems will all come out in the wash.

Hey, Paul, what took you so long? I knew that was coming!

[doctorwho]

There's a lot of good ones here but I think I'm on board with the white.

Think of a white 381 or 660............................... Good Lord!

I disagree with a 660 WHT - it would look really nice! There is at least one example of a 325v59 WHT out there, and it was beautiful (and I would have bought it had it not been at too high an asking price).

I think he's saying he likes it, Gary...

Sorry - my mistake! Nevermind.

Hey, Paul, what took you so long? I knew that was coming!

The combination of a late night at the Key Club in Hollywood to see Jet, followed by a tour of the "E-Film" compound in Hollywood where a friend of mine works, and two lengthy phone conversations with my dad, and one of my brothers, the latter of whom inherited my father's long-windedness.

I'd personally love to see a tie-dye finish. I doubt it would ever happen, though, as it would be a nightmare painting what would essentially be a custom paint job.

A special offering for acoustics might be BuckOwensGlo

[fatcat]

What about a reverse Fireglo, dark in the center lightening up towards the edges? Call it Lightninglo.

[beatlefreak]

Or you could call it Olgerif.
