Hey All.

This is a 2007. Can you all help me determine if this is FireGlo or Amber FireGlo ? The shade of the binding makes me think it's Amber FireGlo.

I say AFG.

If it's a 2007 model, chances are that it's Amber Fireglo because that was the COY.

That certainly looks like Amber Fireglo to me as well.

AFG AF

This! No question.

If you want/need hard proof, RIC CS can provide that if you give them the serial number.

Received this beauty (360-12 Amber FireGlo) from Norm's Rare Guitars yesterday. Jesus this thing is pretty. Such dark beauty, Of course I have to do the customary nut re-design, as this is a 2007. Can't even play a D chord on it. Did Ric ever start cutting better nuts for their 12-strings ? I feel I could do a better job laying that out for them. Customers would be much happier.

Nice I've always liked the afg's.
Congrats.

This is my 2010 Fireglo 360, yours does not look the same to my eyes, but i am no Rick expert. i dig yours, wish i had a 12! Lovely git you got there!

It's AFG. The yellowed fret markers and binding prove it.

I always thought RIC should have tried Amber Mapleglo while they were at it. I think it would go well on a brand new 4005.

IIRC, John had mentioned they did experiment with that, at one point.
