Check in with Joey, then! I though you said that would look KILLER with COLD shower!

Here is my new Ruby "80th. Anniversary" 330/12 VP with gold TRC and pickguards:

Looks great, Kevin. That's about as good as I'll see the new Ruby color until this summer at SCARF '12...

Kevin you've got to stop doing this. What a magnetic for Rickenbacker lovers. Must have the precious!

Stop? ......... I have had trouble just slowing down.

Actually, I believe this is the first "brand new" Rick I have bought since 2009.

What took so long?

Mine's the first new Rick I've bought in over a decade. Nuts.

Wow, Kevin - Congratulations. The gold guards make it look RICH!

Silver's not bad either....

Cool. Show us more!

I had something similar a few years ago:

Oh, my, that is amazing.
The gold on that ruby sure is something else. Ruby didn't move me much until I saw this. Absolutely fantastic.

As wonderful as Kevin's photos are , you really need to see Ruby in "the paint" to truly understand how fantastic it is.

You know I got a sense of something more with this color when I looked at Kevin's photos, particularly the last photo. That photo, unlike any other I've seen, showed me that there a lot is more to the paint than I thought. The light on the back of the neck made the ruby color glow and sparkle and shine in a spectacular manner. I now see that when the light hits that ruby in a certain way the color looks almost radioactive! (And I mean that in a good way.)
