AFG= 1992 FG. Just remember that.

Wow! There IS a JazzBo! Who's the lucky customer?

Nobody. It is "the" demo Jazzbo, and it was Ty-Wrapped onto the hanger.

I like the beveled TRC on the Jazzbo, very classy.

It's not bevelled, strictly speaking. It's radiused (rounded over) with a 1/8" radius bit on a router, then polished. This can be done to any Rick TRC or pickguard, but looks best on the gold ones.

This feature is common to all RIC acoustics, incidentally.

Now THAT is what Fireglo should look like, not Pink-Glo. Awesome job on that one.

Jeez, you guys are over-the-top, you know. I don't think pinky FG should be castigated on this forum, like it has been lately. Any Ric looks great, provided that the lighting conditions are good. I mean, one guy sold a 360/12 because it was too pink, and replaced it with a 360/6 that was less pink. That makes no sense !!

What's Clown-Glo ?

Posted: **Tue Mar 14, 2006 9:34 am**

To my way of thinking, 'Clown-Glo' is an obvious ring a red around the edge of a Fireglo guitar. Most Rick collectors favor a Fireglo finish that has the red edge gradually fade into the center of the guitar (i.e. no clear demarcation line between the edge and the center). I suppose it gets its name from the the garish face-painting of a clown.

I have a clown-glo 1997 which will soon be corrected into a nice AFG. The edges are actually lighter than the area about an inch in from the edges...

Aitch's MB 330 and my MB 381 and 660/12 all have a beautiful, gradual fade. As with most skilled human tasks, the painter has on-days and off-days.

Clown-glo........I love it!

AND I will use that in the future!

I'm not a big fan of Clown Glo, but others ARE. Happily, mine is a normal pinky FG, it even looks like it's almost one solid finish, from certain angles.

Paul, good luck on the next project.

Indeed, Paul, the BEST of good luck on that next project....

....And no clowning around!

Here's a 'Clown-Glo' that I've owned since 1990. It's not too bad except near the trapeze. I've become more selective than I used to be:
