Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
I could very well be wrong, but I thought Autumnglo had a matte finish and was a darker burst.

Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
There's no specific difference in color between the two. Some are darker or lighter depending on the year they were made/flukes/who painted them. As far as I know, in the beginning AutumnGlo was a gloss finish but was then discontinued. They brought it back as a matte finish, and then added Walnut as the gloss version.Clint wrote:I could very well be wrong, but I thought Autumnglo had a matte finish and was a darker burst.

Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
That's it in a nutshell. 
Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
It's Walnut! No question at all.

Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
Great color either way. I've heard that the matte finishes can become glossy over time so this could possibly add to the confusion as well.

They do indeed. My 4001 is somewhat glossy in certain places but matte everywhere else.Spike- wrote:Great color either way. I've heard that the matte finishes can become glossy over time so this could possibly add to the confusion as well.

Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
It looks very glossy, so my first thought was Walnut.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS!

Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
I thought Walnut as well but I always get the two confused. This one happens to be a '76 I believe.
More pics when she arrives next week. Thanks for the help guys.

Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
Is glossy just a matte with more buffing?
Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
Walnut in my opinion this could very well be a rare one!

After, being a proud Ric 360/12 owner now for 1/2 week, I feel almost qualified to say... Walnut.

Re: Walnut or Autumnglo
My '75 AG 480 is getting glossy in spots and I like it. I've thought about having it buffed out to become Walnut (or early AutumnGlo
)
Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed (and I mean that in an optimistic way).
