Here it is, a wide-neck 6er with humbuckers and binding:

Interesting shade of blue. Seems to me to be very close to the current Midnight Blue -- but a bit lighter.

No, no, it's a very different color. I think this one is going to be hard to appreciate on a color monitor. You could call it gun metal gray and be accurate, but there's just the slightest tinge of blue in bright light.

Superb!

I suspect the finish on this is similar to Desert Gold in that it's almost impossible to get an accurate likeness to the true colour with a photograph.

Whatever next......

That looks great, even though it has those skinny srings on it...

I like the square heel.

After looking at all the pics I can see the dominant gray, especially in the photos of the headstock.

Nice flake to the finish, too, sort of like a grey version of DCM.

John: I love this colour. I am always amazed with the unique finishes that continue to be offered by RIC. Stunning with the black truss-rod cover and the contrasting fret-markers are killer too.

That's great. We need to see a 4003FL in that scheme. Keep 'em coming, RIC!

Nice... but... the bubinga fretboard really clashes with the color IMNSHO. Now if this one had a nice, black ebony fretboard, well...
