Dark edge to Fire-glo

Great photos Ken.

I remember that day.

Thanks. I thought these photos gave a good comparison since both guitars are under the same lighting conditions being in the same photo. I would also say that the pics are close to actual shading of the guitars.

I remember that day too...hmm, there may have been some burgers involved.

Here's a better shot. You can see the darker edge on top of the regular FG.



I have my doubts that 50% of people would like this one better. To me, a good Fireglo is two tone with a blood red on the outside. This is more like a three tone.

+2, and the three of us have been fortunate enough to see some of these guitars in person, which look even more stunning.

The two from 1987 have the darkest edges.

HI Clifton,

The center is not real light ( ie: no paint ) ... .. but has a pinker tone ..

I call it Pinkglo and I don't like 'em. It seems that all the newer fireglo RICs have it. Whenever I see one in a music store I can immediately tell it's a new guitar by the pinksh finish
