Fireglo skis!!haha!!

Yes, I finally got to meet another forumite and what a meeting it was!! Three 4005's at one sitting is almost too much to comprehend....throw in a v63 for good measure and this quickly turns into a MAJOR "oooohh/ahhhhhh" experience.....

All turned out well, everyone was happy and it was a very enjoyable experience!! That 2-1/2 hour ride home was pretty quick...haha!!

I would also like to add that Jeff is an incredible bass player!! He brought sounds out of that v63 that I didn't think possible

Another successful "Ric confluence", hopefully just a taste of this coming May.....

Wow .... Proves you can never have too much Fireglo.

Fantastic collection guys, that v63 looks wonderful ... The bound Fireglo is outstanding !!!

4005s ugggh. You're crazy!

Seriousl, cool pics. Real nice examples!

The bound FG was professionally refinished in '03, and comparing it side by side with Jeff's new V63, it is virtually identical in consistency....

I am also a convert over to the D'addario Chrome flats! Jeff has them on his 4005 and I got to play them/it yesterday and as far as I can see, these are the smoothest strings out there.....so, of course I bought a set at the GC and restrung my 4005 with them...badabing!!

Someone better get that jetglo one at that Guitar Center in California because I'm seriously GASsing these babies in a major way....AND I'll be stopping there, only BRIEFLY , at the end of this month!! ;^)

Hello Chris!
I am trying to locate that 4005 jetglo in the GC website...no way

beatlefan · Post by **beatlefan** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:28 am

Haha!! Go for it Francesco! I am only stopping at the airport in San Fran so I won't really have time to check it out.....

rickinroma · Post by **rickinroma** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:32 am

Here is a post from our friend Mike Gutierrez on Jan 24th....not much to go by but if you look up their number and call them....you never know...

"There is a 1974 jetglo 4005 at the Guitar Center in Hollywood for $5400. Pricey? For sure. I know they have some room and it could be negotiated. "
