Turquoise, Burgundy, Ruby, Azureglo, White, Silver, Walnut, Autumn....Not to mention all the COY's.

What color would you folks like to see Rickenbacker make a permanent addition to the current color choices of...MG, JG, FG, MID?
I think something like an Emerald Green transparent would be very cool.
Especially pimped out on a 660.

I'm with you Mike. I'd like to see the 4004 transparent finishes offered across the board.

To complement Fire-Glo:

Earth-Glo: a hunter green that "glo(w)s" into a lighter green.
Green is the new buzzword for the world!

Water-Glo: not quite sure what this color scheme would be.
maybe an azure blue that "glo(w)s" into a light green.

Sky-Glo: maybe a blueboy that "glo(w)s" into a creamy white.


Also, I would LOVE to see Autumn-Glo brought back; with gold pickguard and faceplate.
Watch those teeth, Marlin. I'm not sure we've properly sedated the beast . . .

If Ruby is a deep red, that's what I would like to see. I have a friend who has a bright red 330-12 with black hardware, and that's pretty hideous in my eyes. :shock:

Deep red would be a better description of Burgundy. Ruby is a metallic red, sometimes bright, sometimes a little deeper. Yeah, that bright solid red with black is an acquired taste.

The deep red that has black in it like newer cars are sporting. I think that would look really great in an S body.

I saw this scheme for the first time, only a few weeks back, and I must admit it looked delicious.

Would love to see a psychedelic tie-dye glo, like Kira's avatar! :mrgreen:

Seriously.... It's outrageous, and I love it!

Yes, I agree - that or a turquoise transparent or metallic.

Color-to-black shading is nice, or very dark shading that's nearly black on the outside. I think any of the trans colors would look great, done this way.
