Fury and Mortivan. These photos have quite a bit of flash which really makes them look less brown than they really are. Perhaps John Barnes will comment on their appearance. I will post another photo below of a 2003 Model 330 in Montezuma Brown which is quite different in appearance. I consider this photo to be a truer representation of Montezuma Brown.

From these photos, the MB reminds me of the 3 tone sun-burst that Fender offered in the late 50's to early 60's...any else agree with me?

Al...yes it does. Also, I have a G&L ASAT in Tobacco with a black pickguard which is a dead ringer for Peter's photo of the 330 in MB.
I'll bet that 330 would be even more beautiful with a black pickguard....yummy...

Peter,
The true color does not really come through even with a good digital cam, I did not try to color correct. The darkest area of the finish (to me) is like a deep gloss rootbeer brown, there is a constant brown transition to mapleglow..... there is no red tint in this baby (thanks Pete)

Not exactly Fireglo, or Autumnglo, or tobacco,or even sunburst; kinda all of that, but...none of that. Nice....

Thanks John. I think a photo during natural daylight without the flash might reveal the "rootbeer brown" of which you speak.
