Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Favorite...geez that's at tough one, Jetglo and all the translucent finishes.

Least favorite - Blueboy which I do like, but it's at the bottom of my favorites list.

A color I'd like to see - a translucent teal or teal burst. Maybe the return of the very dark, almost eggplant looking burgundy that RIC did a long time ago.

Most Fav: Older FireGlow that has ambered a bit.

The new AmberGlow of course, those JetGlows are real fine, and that Monty Brown 350v63 of Howards looks pretty sweet.

Least Fav: white.

Fave: MG with BT
Least: FG (the ones that have a lot of pink tones)
Liek to see: a return of Burgundyglo and a return of the BT option (although not necessarily together).

I'm with you Squid! You can't beat really nice wood, in a mapleglo finish. (IMHO)

Monty Brown for me,but not too dark..Especially on a 381..Don't have a least fave.

If I had my way I'd do...uhh...Umm,nevermind..

Don't you have some finishing work to supervise or something, Eric? Toying, always toying.

Favorite: Blue Boy, pre-green
Least: Silver or Desert Gold

Favorites: JG, AFG and MB
Least Favorite: MG

AFG didn't do anything for me until I saw this picture:



Now i'm really GASing for one!

Turq, BB, BBR are very close. It is hard to beat the standard colors, though, especially the MG. I don't think I have seen a sea green one for real. The Burgundy was very nice too. I would still like to see a really good greenburst (less granny smith apple than a richer green) and I'd like to see what Rickenbacker would do with a sparkle finish and a paisley finish.

Desert Gold, Monty Brown are not my faves

My favorite light color is this, almost ten years old and still white-


My favorite dark color is this, looking forward to a 4001 refinned to this-

Mark, I think I look at that picture of Bill's Azureglo 360OS every day! I have to get SOMETHING refinished in that eventually. Incredible looking.

Paul W. has my '67 4001 "project" and will be refinishing it in Azureglo. Expected delivery date around the first of October. He promises lots of photos! I'm curious to see Azureglo with checkerboard binding.

Yea, I don't look at that picture everyday, maybe every other day. When I saw that detailed post on the other forum it inspired me to search for another '73 4001 candidate and I finally found one. Paul W's got incredible skills and a backlog of clients because of that, but you know it's well worth the wait. Can't wait to see a preview with checkered binding, the factory produced ones are extremely rare.

My favorites are Fireglo and Montezuma Brown.

Least favorite is Jetglo.

I would like to see Burgundy available again. A metallic version would be very cool!
