a JG like that would make me wet.
A trans black finsh would look great on Ricks, especially the 4004 basses.

If it was a reflection, it would follow the body contours. I'd love to buy it just to take a chance I'm right. This would be kind of a cool odd-ball if the back is trans blue and the front is solid. The only difference is no silver mettalic basecoat under the blue. Do you ever wonder if RIC releases experimental stuff like this to keep it interesting? How many of the grayglos went out, probably amounting to one production run?
I saw a brand new 330 fireglo this past Friday at my favorite west coast Rick dealer. The new bursts look great with the gradual blend into the center. Excellent job, Eric!johnallg wrote:Ben, I don't know if you hired new shooters or if Eric has them whipped into shape or both, but the instruments coming out of the factory of late, especially the bursts, are just beautifully done. Kudos to all.

Joey, you’ve been dreaming about that for quite some time IIRC

Same on my mid blue, you can see where the body wings join the neck.dean712 wrote:I've seen slight bodyside-centerwood joint lines on the back of solid colors before, if you tilt them just right against the light (both of my jetglo's), but never woodgrain. Interesting....
