Hey Andy,
Great minds think alike! How about us placing our orders together and get consecutive serial numbers? Mike gave me the price already. I'm awaiting Chris Clayton's.

I'm thinking about it hard Paul. I'm actually thinking about how I get it approved by the accountant in the house - if you know what I mean. I have a Rob Allen coming in about two weeks. It’s usually good to put some time in between these “must haves”…

Paul - e-mail me (if you don't mind) with what Mike told you!

cheers!

Is Blueburst simply a sunburst application of Transparent Blue?

While we're at it, was Burgundy a non-sunburst application of Fireglo?

Any other interesting tidbits about how the colors are related?

Dennis: I think that Burgundy is a combination of Fireglo and Jetglo. I have a burgundglo fountain pen ink that I mixed up with this in mind.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Dennis - to answer your first question - yes, its all about the shading!

It's exactly the same blue dye process, just shaded.

Indeed, Burgundy was just Fireglo and Jetglo.

Thank-you. No it's not mine. Even though blue is my favorite color and I love this bluburst color, I bought a Fireglo 330. It was the only RIC Sam Ash had in the store. It is beautiful as well. If the blue was in stock I'd probably have taken it.
