Post by Lefty4001 »

Anybody see RIC is teasing on their FB page. Tape in the PUP cavity reads "4003 Color of the Year 2014 Test...."

I'll start.

Greenburst!

Hm. I feel like white/BT has been painfully absent for a while.

Yes, I jokingly said silverburst but would love a white wonder with either black or white trim.

Assuming Rickenbacker aren't trolling us again, I'd like to see '60s Autumnglo.

"Fishglo" - the body and headstock surfaces will have imbrication to provide that "hey look, he's playing a fish" effect on audiences .. :roll: :shock: :o :lol:

There's a billion variations on FireGlo, AutumnGlo, "Tobaccoglo" and more from different time periods in different shades of brown and red. If I was going to hope for something i'd hope for new color, something fresh.
