Best COY
Since it's been a couple of years since a COY was released, reminisce if you will to those bygone days of the COY. Which one was the best in your humble opinion? Why one appears better to you than another?
Sorry, left off turquoise, since it ran more than a couple of years.

I voted for Blue Boy. It's so light, delicate, and childlike. Just like me. 
All I wanna do is rock!

Sea Green and Blue Boy are high on my list but there is something totally fabulous about a gold finish.....

Re: Best COY
I like 'em all, except...Desert Gold has never hit me just right...too bland?
Top two:
For a solid: Blue Boy
For a Burst: Monte Brown
I'd love to see a pale green like one of the Fender Custom Color greens.
Pearl orange or apricot would also be very, very nice.

Re: Best COY
Monte is my favorite.
Re: Best COY
Blue Boy, most definitely.

I was torn between Monty and AFG but Monty got the nod.

Re: Best COY
I was never that crazy for most of the COYs, but Blue Burst (done right) is my favorite.

AFG means Classic, Vintage Rick to me.
Re: Best COY
I like the AFG. I know it's not that much of a departure, but some of them, particularly the ones that were back ordered and came out in 2008, are amazing.
Monte brown was cool too. The other solid colors didn't work so much for me but I agree with Paul W., I'd love to see a pale green color.

Monty - somehow I think it's Freudian - next COY should be Harngelb
