It is way overdue for a Mapleglo Love Thread!
I was attracted to Ric's like many people my age when I saw Geddy and his Jetglo. I like Jetglo but for some reason Mapleglo has always been my hearts desire. I now have two and could easily see more and more of them added to my collection. So lets see some Mapleglo love......

Mmmmm, Mapleglo! I just might have something lying around the house that would qualify.
Let's see, how about something from 1984...

OK, this one's not a bass so maybe it doesn't belong here, but the lowest string is tuned to the same A as a bass. Then again, it's not technically "Mapleglo" since they didn't call it that back in 1958. But what the heck, it looks pretty cool even if I do say so myself...
