I'd prolly have to get a 330 and 350v63.

I'd buy a 330 and have it WBBS'd/OS'd, along with all of the other typical stuff I put on my Ricks; toasters, Accent, knobs, blah blah blah.

Sorry gang, I don't get that one. Only green for me on a guitar is surf.

It is beautiful but I don't believe in green guitars either. But that's just me !

This one was done perfectly.

If anyone at RIC is following this thread, I know that you won't let the cat out of the bag, but how many serious contenders for 2009 COY are there? Is it already decided? Eric? Ben? John?

I'm with ya, Dan, but unfortunately, as per RIC's recent statement:

The model 350/12V63 has cycled out of the V Series as part of regular rotation within that range.

There's nothing in the current range that would appeal to me - regardless of colour. Oh..... except perhaps a 381v69 but I'd have to sell my house to get one of those!! Maybe a 650C but I'd want one with a standard 1-5/8" Rick neck.

I'm sure that if Jadeglo was the new COY I would get at least a 360/12 and a 620/6. FG is on top of everything for me, JG follows, but I think we have a new winner here!

Wouldn't this guitar look a lot better with gold guards, TRC, and oven knobs? I think so.

I don't know. I like the white. If the burst was more like a blueburst with darker green on the outside fading to a pale green on the inside, then gold would look pretty killer. I think on this one, though, the white is a great contrast to the black on the outer edges of the fade.

I am not a big fan of the oven knobs on any guitar unless it originally came with them from the manufacturer. I prefer (on this burst) the black edges instead of dark green and the dark green (as opposed to a faded or lighter green) in the center of the body. It's the black edges that sets it apart from the blueburst or the fireglo. If it were dark green on the edges, it would be too green and I'd have to name it it kermit.

I'm normally not into GREEN guitars, but this really does look like Jade.

Oooh, imagine one with the new "rumored" FW inlays on a 4003...hmmm, with a HS & a toaster.... possibly FRETLESS....some vintage black knobs with ....and.......or, ...........come to think of it..........dammit...........JANEY-CALL HOME DEPOT!
