What Color Would You Like To See?

Re: What Color Would You Like To See?
I would like to see the Emerald Green that was offered on the 4004 basses a few years back offered on the guitars. Green happens to be my favorite color, so if a new Rickenbacker guitar was offered in that color, I would have to pull the trigger on one. 
Re: What Color Would You Like To See?
I'd love to see something like a black burst or something with some sparkle in it .. like a gold dust or silver sparkle .. that would be sw-weeeeeeet!!

That beautiful Greenglo (sic) is by far the foxiest color!

Re: What Color Would You Like To See?
Could someone with photoshop or any other program take a solid white Rickenbacker picture and try changing the colors of everything but the body? So, instead of a MID Blue guitar with white guards, binding, TRC, etc, how about:
White guitar with Blue Binding, Blue Guards, Blue TRC with White "Rickenbacker" lettering, maybe a white neck (like a Tuxedo) with Blue triangle inlays, etc?
Or the above with all Ruby/Red instead?
Changing the colors of the plastic are a bit easier for the regular person to do. And, I haven't seen much done except for Black trim, Gold trim, and occasional real wood trim (Lightshows excepted).

Your picture just looks like a Seafoam Green guitar with the Black Trim option. Cool, but not exactly what I was thinking of.fabandgear wrote:How about a Negative image-painted Rick?scoobster28 wrote:Could someone with photoshop or any other program take a solid white Rickenbacker picture and try changing the colors of everything but the body?

Plus 1 for some type of dark brown / walnut sunburst.dpowell wrote:Yeah, I'd definitely order a 4003 in Infraredglo...![]()
I never understood why Two-Tone/Autumnglo/Walnut/Montezuma Brown types of dark sunburst have come and gone so often, in my mind they should be as standard as Fireglo. They've certainly been around long enough.

Blue Boy and Sea Green sure are beautiful. And I personally love brick shades for fretless Rics; autumnglo, fireglo, ect.
But for a great all-around more common color I would love to see added, I'd have to give my vote to white.
