Has anyone heard if RIC will have a new Color of the Year for 2010?

What would be your choice?

I would like to see a "Triburst" similar to that found on a Gibson ES 335.....call it "Triglo" ???

Maybe even a "Honeyglo", which would be a variation of Mapleglo with darker caramel edges fading to a nice amber in the center.

The way I see it, John Hall is going to keep everything under wraps until January 2010 at NAMM.

I sure wish they would bring Autumnglo back...the 60's variation...with the black to red burst.

If I could imagine a cool Ric finish it would be "BlueBoyBurst" basically the blueboy color sprayed over a white base in the familiar fireglo spray pattern. Like a burst without seeing the grain. Maybe it just looks better in my head though....

I vote for Pumpkinglo.

I've often considered that "Jetburst" would look cool -- a burst sprayed like a Fireglo or BBR except just black on natural. I don't know if it's even feasible, but I'd like it. It also has the advantage of enabling RIC to use a known quantity color -- the New Jetglo -- without having to bother with color/pigment issues.

Gimme some white.

Yes, sir. White on white with white binding, white TRC with white lettering and white fretboard (with black FWIs for the deluxe models), coming right up.

There's a lot of good ones here but I think I'm on board with the white.

Think of a white 381 or 660............................... Good Lord!

Yeah, all white would be pretty pimp.

Even a standard 330 in white would be cool.


In response to your Jetburst, Ron--I always thought a Ric would look cool in that blackburst color---black to greyish in the center, that they use on some modern PRS guitars etc... it'd look sweet on a 381 or something similar.

something like this:

AUGH!

knew that would happen!

How about "Starburst" with each colour tasting of a different fruit?

I like that, and each fret of the board a different flavour too, ala...

Don't be silly!
Everyone knows that the fret board will taste of liquorice!

I vote for tie-dye.
