Ok, so it's not Rickenbacker's Color of the Year.

Turquoise might be a good color of the year, if they do them again. RIC did bring back Burgundy for one COY.
I'd prefer a trans or burst turquoise or teal on a Rick for a COY.

[melibreits]

Ohhhh yeah. Turquoise is good!

I'm curious to see if there even is a RIC COY in 2010.

something like this

[melibreits]

Mmmmmm..... Sweeeeeet!

[hjarnett]

how about trans jetglo

[rkbsound]

This seems like a cool topic!

[jingle_jangle]

Uhhhh....

[RonLovesRic12strings]

Wouldn't this be cool (a little photo editing involved)? The fingerboard would most likely have to be maple instead of rosewood to get it to stain turquoise.

[cjj]

Well, I think that would look great with a rosewood fretboard too...

[jimk]

Yeah, I could go for that. I think a rosewood fingerboard would be best, however.

I'm more interested in a MODEL of the year myself.

Just think of the possibilities!

That prototype Aqua Marine 660/12 color would get my vote. I so want to refinish a 350 Liverpool in this color with vintage appointments like a 350 V63.

That finish would definitely apply to the 'rare finishes' thread.

I'd take a bass in that.

My original '73 4001 was originally fireglo. I modded it to a Turquoise-teal sunburst with a deep purple edge. It looked sharp especially with the Mother-of-pearl inlays and the Badass Bridge mod. It was trick. Too bad no pix. Sorry.
