Check out the RIC Outlet for two color/trim experiments being made available:

The red to black 4003 looks a lot like my "mink" refin bass. Niiiice!

Can you feel the excitement around here?
What's a COY again?

Very cool! Nice colors! I am sure they will be hot tickets.
One question, and if it's in the ebay listing, I apologize for not reading it all the way through - If you buy directly through the RIC outlet, do you still get the typical warranty as if you had bought through a dealer?

I don't know man, that MB 360 with the black HW is kind of ugly ! White and chrome always, please.

Sorry, I'm confused.
Are you saying the 360 with the Amber Montezuma Brown and the black hardware is the '09 COY?
I love the color.
The black HW? I'm not certain about.

Just want to refresh this topic.
After those two one offs in December there have not been any more.
Ben said "more to come" on this forum.
Some forum folks have speculated there will be no more of these guitars auctioned off. These forumites sight cryptic reasons that I can not seem to decipher.
Does anyone know if RIC will be auctioning off any more of these wonderful guitars?

Only they know if any will be auctioned, but with what PW posted today about his recent factory visit, it sounds like RIC is still experimenting but letting the one-offs go out as regular stock. IMHO.

Mark - there seemed to be a degree of negative feedback towards RIC when the first "custom" instruments appeared on Ebay. Perhaps this has soured their attitude regarding producing any similar guitars.

John, I got the impression that this guitar was more unintended than planned. I could be wrong, and if so O hope Eric B. will set us all straight on this.

My response was just a guess, but the instrument was not going to end up on eBay, thus combining that with what went down after the other two made it to the bay, I posted my opinion. Can't blame RIC either.
