If that guitar was 1965 vintage or thereabouts, it would pass for factory FG. I've seen some Rickenbackers from that period that wear Fireglow nearly identical to that. One 450/12 I handled from '65 looked just like it. I really dig this finish, Paul.

John, again I must emphasize that it's the photos--the guitar is actually like an orange popsicle in its darkest areas, but the digital domian renders the edges as a faded red. Both Tim and I have tried to correct the look in Photoshop with little success.
But I agree; the colors as shown look like my FG'66 450/12.

"However, in photos it reminds me of an aged and faded mid '60s FG."
When I first looked at the linked pics, I though that too, and thought maybe you were really tired and posted the before pics.
I was expecting something in the Creamsicle range. Maybe a pic in the sun will do it? Now I'm thinking of CreamsicleGlo..... a pastel, after the BBs....
