Turquiose, Sea foam green or even White, I have a 1977 4001 that was originally white but the previous owner sanded the finish off so I decided to have it refinished white, it has black binding and hardware..

Jaymi, the Ruby is on the right, with a Red on the left, right? Or do you have TWO Ruby with BT/BH?? You gotta send me a nice portrait of one for the "project." Please!

I would think that Dorothy might fancy a trip to nice historic Naishveele, eh, Paul?

Curious how you're doing the 5er conversion. Since you are refinishing anyway you may be able to do some surgery and get a lot closer to a 4003/5 than normal.

My favorite finishes are all sunbursts--so that's my two cents, Fireglo or a more traditional 3TS if you like.

I like Paul W's idea. It can be designated AutumnJetglo/BT.

They are all good ideas,
I would not change the color of the binding (it would be extra work).
Joshua, forgive my bad English, but I do not understand the reason for your curiosity.

Most 4-2-5 conversions are done without serious changes to the headstock other than the addition of a tuner, but since you are doing a refin, you have some more options like actually reshaping it. Just wondering if you were going that route or not.

I was thinking Azure until I saw the Ruby! Good Luck!

Zero Kill!!!
Maybe, in the first post, I expressed badly the modification that I'm going to do.
I want to close the holes and insert the tuners in 4003s /5 position.
Now, with this type of work, I can not use transparent colors or FireGL Mapleglo type, to avoid to see clogged holes

They are a matching pair. one month apart in age...both Ruby

Way cool. I'm sure we've talked about this (these). I'd love a good portrait shot. I'm building the chapter on color and trim right now.

I actually don't think I have a pic of just one of them. I wish I had one of them remaining...it is my favorite Rick color...with BT of course!!!
