All lovely guys, but that 4005 is something else! Thanks for warming us up with fireglo.

Andrew, you've got the hottest collection of the forum (anyway, because they are all fireglo)! Image

Time for a change, once again. The last of the modern-day official Rick colors is Azureglo. So, for the week of 11-17 May, post pictures of Azureglo Ricks. I'll start it off with this gorgeous specimen, albeit a refinish. This is Darren Trott's '72 4001, brought to the recent MARC by Dave Pascoe, and photographed by me. I can't recall if Paul W. or Dale Fortune did the refin, but it's soooo nice:

Here's a transition May 1973 4001 AZ with the original finish, toaster, wavy grovers, checkered binding, small inlays. It's got one of the best necks out of all my 73's, really low action.
