What color is this. Fireglo with a browish orange tint? Is this an older fireglo

They were spraying 'em very dark for a period. I think they've gone back to a lighter red now.

A digital photo does not always represent the true color.

Must be the digital photography. My 360/12 is from that era, and it doesn't look like any of that color.

Well, they vary from guitar to guitar, week to week, month to month, sprayer to sprayer, etc.

That's a beautiful color, but it doesn't look like any Fireglo I've ever seen. Are you sure it's not Autumnglo?

Body looks like Autumglo, headstock looks like Fireglo.

Weird.

It's FG, recent version #145.7. Very dark (I've seen quite a few of these color), possible digital color shift.

I thought about the digital color shift possibility ..Every picture he sent me looks like this darker color. Nothing looks as good as a picture like this but the seller assures me it has a brownish orange tint to it.

Still Fireglo. And a really attractive variation, IMO!
