If you didn't know the serial numbers it would be very difficult to tell!!

Not difficult at all.

Even those two photos as posted (unenlarged) show the difference clearly--the mix for Walnut (bottom) is much "cooler" and more neutral than MB (top), which shows a reddish-amber tone in the transitional shading, due to its red and amber content.

Walnut is a cool brown, which actually grays out in low concentrations like the transitional shading area.

Craig, are those Grovers on the Walnut one?

Hate to throw a curve into the works, but brown is my LEAST favorite color on Ricks. I even had my Walnut 360/12 refinished red. Life is better now.

That's what makes horse races, Brad.
Yep Kevin.....Grovers indeed.

+1. Browns don't look anything like as attractive on other makes, but look fantastic on these two.

The "Browns" are among of my favorite finishes.

My Autumn Glo 4001 is a fave of mine. So I agree after my JG Rickenbackers, the browns are next on my list followed closely by AFG and the new FG..............

Thanks for the colour tutorial Paul. You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge.
