Yes Wim originated in Germany and biggest there I have read of some Octoberfests in The Netherlands
http://www.iamsterdam.com/en/placestogo ... f8f87e0ac9 But, I defer to your knowledge about this custom in the Netherlands.

Also in Cinncinati, Ohio USA and Kitchener-Waterloo in Canada. Probably used as an excuse wherever people like to drink.

Paul W has done an orange finish on a Rickenbacker before and it would be nice to see another.

That probably sums it up pretty much.
There are Oktoberfests in a town a bit further here, called Wieze (Belguim), too.
But I've never been to one. I'm not into organised drinking.

I bet that Rickie will be the first one to smell bad... and no cat litter to get it out :lol:

I once posted an orangeburst 360 photoshop somewhere, it looked really nice.

here's some metallic orange. Apparently we already had this done in 2010.
I still like it.

I really like this metallic orange. A gorgeous photo. I don't remember paying attention to this the first time around. :)
