Sorry, I mixed up your previous avatar and Brian's current avatar again. similar finish, but I forget that yours is of a 330 taken from one angle, while Brian's is a 370 OS/WB taken from the opposite angle. Oops... :shock: :? :shock: :? :shock:

Wow, you guys are literal.

Shell pink? Great color, but not as a COY...it would sell a couple of hundred pieces and die.

Fender still sells tens of thousands of Candy Apple Red guitars every year (same as Ruby). Still Ruby as a COY? NOT!!!

I'd like to see something akin to Fender's Dakota Red. It's not the typical Fiesta Red and I think it would look pretty sweet with the binding and full inlays.

Wow.....this is the first thread I've started that went anywhere.
My vote is for some kind of solid Red.

That sure would be easy! Very tempting... But no "WOW" factor though!

I think White on White can have a "Wow" factor! Pure Rickenbacker tone oozing from the purest of all colors....mmmmmm.

How could a color so striking as this fail to "WOW" anyone? :D Even if the "WOW" is a "WOW, it's back"!! :wink:

Of course, white on white would be equally striking, though if it were to return in a shade matching that of the following guitar I suppose it would have to be classsified as "Vintage White" :D :

White is very, very difficult to paint, though you wouldn't know it by looking at it...
