I love that photo of Kenny (I assume?).

Holding down the fort

Paul's looking for the next booth to scurry off to?

Or, trying to remember where he is at the moment?

This photo is untouched. The Ruby was quite difficult to capture with a camera.

Wall of FIREGLO!!!

The photo really doesn't do this justice. Whomever is responsible for the hue of the current Fireglo offerings has it down pat. These have the subtle yellowing and smooth transitions of an early 60s instrument. These got a LOT of attention - with good reason.

Does it look like the old Ruby? After seeing Jeff Thomas' Ruby 4001(3?, I don't recall I was so taken by the color!) I was blown away about Ruby; it certainly is difficult to photograph properly.

It definitely has a good amount of shine and glitter (right word?) Very popping color

This got a lot of attention, too.

Great pics Scott.. Nice shots of the Rubys
Thanks for posting

Is that a 660/6?

Wow.

THAT was a LONG read!

Thanks to Joey & Gary and anyone else who posted pics, greatly appreciated.

The new "RUBY" looks like BURG to me, and I think it's really cool the way it POPS with the white trim.
Even that skinny stringed thing, the 360 REALLY POPS! Nice with the full width inlays too.

Nice to see something new, PLUS its an addition to the standard colors is always a good thing.

LoL, this was mentioned a few dozen pages ago, about the ROBOT guitars....anyone see this there?

Seems like everyone is giving it a try.

Yep.

Also...

the Strumbuddy.

this is an attachment that you can have with your iphone. It attaches to your mic stand or headstock and your phone can scroll sheet music or lyrics while you play. I will be getting one.

Yeah, the ruby looks kinda like metallic burgundy! I think it looks particularly nice with the gold plastic. I bet it would look fantastic with black...


Thanks again to all who have posted pics! Keep 'em coming!

Mix up a batch of pea soup green paint.....

I only took a few pictures at NAMM yesterday. Here are some pictures of my new favorite bass player, Kendra Means. She's with a group called the David Mayfield Parade.
