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

That's a newish guitar (1-2 yrs old). 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.

I had 2009 330 FG looked very similar a lovely dark/rich fireglo.

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!

I too quite like it!

Although normal Fireglo is attractive this other looks very cool ..
