The new ruby RICKS

Post by RonLovesRic12strings »

I saw a new RUBY 330 at Guitar Showcase in San Jose today. The store labled the color as "Custom". I believe this to be misleading, because I understand that RUBY is a new STANDARD color for RIC this year. Although the color is pretty cool, I wish RIC would have used gold metallic instead of silver metallic mixed in the dark red. Oh well, that's just MHO.

We don't mix this color and it is pearl based, not metallic.

Olivia's Vintage has a nice Ruby 650 Colorado posted on e-bay

The maple fretboard looks great with the Ruby color --- same feeling I had when I saw one at NAMM earlier this year. :D

Diplomatic as ever, Ben
Santa visits only once a year, but Santa Ana delivers Rics all year round.
