Mine is the one I have on my Ric. If I had more than one they would be my favoite too. '08 4003 in Jetglo. Theres no bread - let them eat cake - there's no end to what they'll take.

Anything but mapleglo, though I'm generally not a big FG fan either, b/c it's the ubiquitous Rick color. Having said that, there are some amazing FG finishes out there, both vintage, and those applied by Eric Behring at RIC, and our forum luthiers!

I'm not much of a fan of solid colours generally, I like to see the grain of the wood through the finish. I have a BG 4001 and I love it, you can just see the wood through it, cool!

You are hopefully coming down for the SCARF Confluence, in August, to meet and greet fellow Forumites ?

Would love to. Dates set yet?

I like the actual Midnightblue most.

It was the reason for selling my fireglo 360/6 and buying a Midnightblue.

Azureglo has always been my fave, even though it doesn't show any grain. I used to really dislike mapleglo, but lately I've really been getting an appreciation for the faded old mapleglos where they get that yellow tinge to them.

Add one for the current Fireglo!

My favourite is reverse fireglo im surprised no-one said this before, am I crazy??

My dream is to get a 4000 with a legit magnet horeshoe refined in this. Or a Checker bound O.S. 360. I don't know how else to express my love for reverse fireglo...any takers?
