I like the new feature on the RIC site that lets you view a 330, 360 and a 620 in the available colors.

That 67 is superb Melissa. I love the old inlays...they just shimmer!

My naturally "ambered" Fireglo 1987 381/12V69:

Hubba hubba!

It's got to be white guards for me though...

Robert, Thanks.

I still have the original white guards/nameplate but the binding and inlays have "ambered" to the point of nearly matching the gold plastic parts. This doesn't show very well in the photos.

I like both gold & white, I have some of each. That is a lovely FG for a '80's Kev. I often find the '80's FG a little 'insipid' for my tastes, but that one looks nice & rich.

I agree that this is one sweet thread!

That is totally sweet, Kevin.... The figuring in the maple makes the guitar look as if it is made of hammered gold! Wow, is that beautiful!

Interesting how the old FG looks like my new MB.

Here's some aged 60s Fireglo for comparison. The first two guitars were built within the same month of the same year...have a look at the difference in the amount of yellow/orange used. The photos were all taken on the same day with the same camera settings without any flash.

First up is an April 1965 Export model 1998:-

Also from April 1965 a 360-12:-

One year later on a 1966 360-12:-
