2005 and 2006 COYs, or What I Did on My Summer Vacation

I started visiting this forum about four months ago. Over the course of three months, I acquired three new Ricks (to join the 330/6 MG I bought in 2005).
Coincidence? I think not.
The summer culminated with a 360/6 AFG and a 660/12 BBR. Perhaps I began to worry the COY program might be gone for good (i.e., for bad).
Based on many hours spent reading these forums, I gather there are some here who are underwhelmed by the last two COYs. But I love them both. And they feel and sound great.
Here are some pics.

BEAUTIFUL guitars, both of them.
I especially love the shading of that 360 AFG....

Great finish on both of them! Or is that Photoshop?
BTW what's COY stand for? Color of the year?

I like it, J Dog! That would be another great picture for the Rics 'n' Roses thread that Scotty wants to see started....
