"Honey, something's on fire in the back yard!"

Here are a few photos of my brand new Amber Fireglo 4003 I picked up at Wade's in Milwaukee yesterday (Sat. 6/2). You'll see how much "ambering" is done by comparing the binding with the white plastic pickguard. Note also the very yellowed position markers.

As a comparison, the group shot shows the AFG between two standard Fireglos from '97: a 4001V63 and 4004L. Red's are notorious for their reproduction in digital form, so the fade on all of them is more gradual than in the photo. Enjoy!

Looks great Paul! The COY collection is well on its way.

I think I found a backdrop I like better than Jeff's rug!

Oh, and the basses are cool too!!

I am buying a nice new house here in Denver ... So I will have some new backdrops for my Ric pictures ...

I think the best amber fireglo would be a 4004 ...

Paul, you did get a permit from the DNR before shooting the pics?

Actually, Richard, wet set fire only to the front yard. We have an all-Wisconsin native prairie garden for the entire front yard, and we burn it flat every other year or so in late April. This is my wife's hobby, and I help only with the burning.
