Thanks people- keep them coming...

AZ is often confused and used to denote AzureGlo (I believe that's why it was added as Arizona here ). The correct designation for AzureGlo is AG.

A few colors you don't have that I can think of off hand
AG AzureGlo
FG FireGlo
JG JetGlo
BG BurgundyGlo
TG TransGreen
TR TransRed
TB TransBlue

Thanks CJJ.

OHSC - Original Hard Shell Case (Useful when buying pre-owned)

Oh, and to make things even more confusing....Rose Morris models are often also designated with "RM" tags, along with Roger McGuinn models. The obvious difference being that Rose Morris models will have a 4 digit number following the RM----ie, RM1998, RM1996, RM1993 etc.

RoMo does make more sense to me, even if I think it looks/sounds really stupid.

Here's another one for you, Robert. BT, black trim, black binding, guard, and TRC. Some refer to it as BH, black hardware.

Though in reality, BT & BH refer to quite different things. BT is the trim, as stated above while BH refers to things like tuners, tailpiece, etc. being black.

Huh. I thought it was pretty cool!

Reminded me of an old X-windows (Unix) app. called Xroach. Whenever you closed a window a bunch of little roaches would scurry around and hide under other windows. Great fun!

So, how long will he go with no avatar....

Oh, he's probably sanding and spraying something to use right now.

Yup. Azureglo.

AZ preferred. AG is Autumnglo.

Good rendition of AzureGlo! I suspect the AZ vs. AG debate for AzureGlo and AutumnGlo will go on forever. I think AZ makes more sense for AzureGlo, but apparently, there was some price list from RIC way back that listed AzureGlo as AG, or so I've heard from those that insist AG means AzureGlo...
