HAPPY FOURTH!

Post by jingle_jangle »

Here are four of my collection--three Fireglos and one Ruby--getting ready for Fourth of July fireworks!

(Left to right) '66 450/12, new Laramie 730/12, upgraded '99 1997, with third pickup and Accent, and '82 360WB.

Yeah, babies! Gorgeous set. Let's all post Fireglo Ricks for the Fourth. My examples include a '97 Laredo with maple fingerboard, a '92 2060, and a '98 (I think) V63. Let the Firegloworks begin!

Man, those 450/12s are SO underrated. They've got the sound and they are lightweight. I love my '64.

My '66 was made the month I graduated from high school.

Ancient, but zesty.
