That Fireglo's lovely,
Very nice!
An excellent fade to that FG finish.

I agree, that fireglo is very lovely! And Jeff's jetglo is a beauty too. Neither color did anything for me but both have really grown on me in the last couple months. I'm now thinking my 04 MG needs a color change along with the V68 treatment....

Only one colour to change to if you're going to go the v68 route

True, but then JB's V68 in JG looks really nice too! Something classic in a JG trimmed out in white and all shined up. Kinda like a tie and tails....

Yipee!! I'm getting an AFG.
Wade's Guitar Shop actually got two 4003 AFGs, not just one. Jerry Grinkmeyer (Grink) got one of them. I'm picking up the other Saturday morning. Alex was nice enough to let me transfer my deposite from my JG order to their AFG. (the extra $80 was MORE than worth it)
I'll post photos ASAP. To tell you the truth, though, photos just don't do the amber tint on the binding and fret markers justice. When I saw the bass on display, I fell instantly in love. It's absolutely gorgeous!!!
It's not going to be a closet case queen. Rare or not, this baby will get played. I'm staying away from the cymbals though.

Congratulations, & good choice!
You can always pick up a JG later.

It's a classic look!

Nice AFG. Get a mint green guard for that Daphne blue p-bass, it'l look incredable.

I changed my mind folks. I decided to wait for the JG.
Anybody looking for a very nice Amber Fireglo 4003, call Alex at Wade's Guitar Shop. I owe them big for putting up with my indecision. Those guys are world class!

Paul! You didn't!

Yes.
Yes I did.
Number eight in the current Rick fleet. I'm getting close to having a complete collection of COYs, and am now having regrets of selling the DG I had over the New Year. If I'd kept it, I'd be short only a Blue Boy and a 2002 Burgundy. I'm still waiting for my BlueBurst Cii.
The Amber Fireglo is pretty, and has the attractive quality of looking old, but being brand new without "mojo" -- no battle damage. Imagine a Rick from the '60s that ambered but was never touched.
Photos tomorrow (probably).
