Color of the Year

hey a somewhat 'faded' looking "brownburst" or "brownglo" would be cool too, you know? (less orange and not as bright as Montezuma Brown)

I'm all for natural looking colors.

Oooh I like the idea of a dark rusty orange!

I'd like to see the "reverse trim" option return more than anything. Color wise I'd like to see some vibrant colors instead of the pastel special hues of late (Blue Boy and Sea Green....both of which I like). Just for a change a bright green, yellow or orange would be nice.

I'd love a trans-Purple or Purpleburst ric

I'd like to see a deep brown/walnut finish.

cherry sunburst ... or montana brown ... or baby blue ... or .... yep these are names people give to ric finishes ... they just don't know glo-speak ...

British racing green-glo

How about "constantly changing-glo"?

Something that changes from reddish to orangish depending on the angle it is viewed from?....
Or bluish to greenish....you get the picture..

Hey, they do it on cars! Why not an instrument...or am I behind the times here, does someone already do this?

the chameleon colors? I have only seen one guitar with a finish like that and it was a custom paint job.

Gibson and Carvin both used to make a "flip" teal finish which would appear to change when viewed from different angles. Don't know if they are still made.

I think we’ll see the extension of the transparent colors to the rest of the RIC guitar line.

if we get the trans colors, a wood upgrade (figure) option would be nice...

but there I go with complicated wishes again.

Maybe they'll waive the color of the year and go with VPCB4003 like was seen in Japan last year.

Vintage Pickup, Check binding.

I think I'd soil myself if they offered checkerboard binding as an option. I'd have to get every color available !

Actually Warwick made a Rex model with a holoflash finish for a few years. It changed colors depending on what angle you viewed it from. Pretty cool looking, but I just don't like the instrument very much.
