Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Eric at RIC said they let 8 of these out the door in this color, all 330 or 340s:

Looks sweet to me, but I don't do guitars.

Hmmmm..... doesn't look as pretty as Melibee's but it's a very difficult colour to present well in a photograph. AND I have the advantage of actually seeing and holding hers!

Chris has a side by side picture with a regular BBR on his front page when you scroll down.

My mistake, Ray. For some reason I had purple in my head! Gotta stop eating them strange, yellow mushrooms......

The explanation from Eric at RIC:

Wow, that is pretty darn cool! But I like my Purpleburst better.....

Melissa, can you post your Purpleburst pictures or links up again?

Purple is my favourite colour!

Hmmmmmm.... This is the only pic I can find in my files that meets the Forum size requirements, and I don't want to bug my hubby about re-sizing my pics right now....

This was shot by a fellow Forumite at the Ric 75th in Santa Ana.

Aha, here's another one. These are the two guitars that I took to the 75th.

Okay....yet one more!

Purpleburst & Gold scratchplate even better!

I think that's my favourite colour scheme as well as my Hurling teams colours!

'Gotta get me one of those!

Thanks for the pictures.

Melissa, great color schemes. Is that an original turquoise finish?

The Turquoise 325v59 is an original Ric factory color; the 330 Purpleburst was made over by Paul W. (it used to be a fireglo with major issues)....

Paul gets some serious accuracy with his finishes..You could have told me that was factory, and I never would have doubted it...

Melissa, that thing is beautiful. Maybe Paul will let Ric use that color for the 07 color of the year.
