I saw a new RUBY 330 at Guitar Showcase in San Jose today. The store labled the color as "Custom". I believe this to be misleading, because I understand that RUBY is a new STANDARD color for RIC this year. Although the color is pretty cool, I wish RIC would have used gold metallic instead of silver metallic mixed in the dark red. Oh well, that's just MHO.

I added some metallic gold to mine.

We don't mix this color and it is pearl based, not metallic.

The maple fretboard looks great with the Ruby color --- same feeling I had when I saw one at NAMM earlier this year.
