Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

any one know what the limited colour is going to be for 2005 ? and how do they come up with the decision on what this will be.. ? i would love to see cream on white ? or maybe a metalflake colour ... who makes that decision? questions questions !!!

I was curious as to when this question would crop up. . .

I'm guessing something bluish but darker than BB. But we should probably ask Ed Roman. . .

Blueburst? (Oh, pleeeease, Mr. Hall?)

Cloverfield Green with gold pickguard and nameplate! Well... I think it would be cool.

Actually, I don't care what the color of the year is as long as they keep making Montezuma Brown.

Ethan, you mean like this one? LOL!

OK, it's true, Turquoise and gold is pretty similar to Cloverfield Green and gold. But since Turquoise has been discontinued (reportedly - I've seen quite a few turquoise 2004s around), maybe it's time for a Cloverfield Green resurgence!

Or what about orange? Not a stain, but a full on color - bright like Sea Green, only Orange. I don't think Rickenbacker has ever offered a straight up orange colored guitar. Lotsa reds, though. I think orange would look pretty sharp with the fretboard and the white guard.

Orangesicleglo!

I'm with Melissa. That, PurpleGlo or Apple Corp. Green ...

?Orange?

Interesting.

I myself would enjoy a blue-green but much darker than sea green. . . .more like a slate color. Would look cool with a metallic undercoat too.

Although I don;t think we'll see a metallic undercoat for a while given JH's tales of how the actual metallic stuff is a major pain to work with.

Maybe the trans red from the 4004c's but available on everything? That would rock!

Especially if all the instruments with that finish has highly flamed or quilted maple!

green stain / sunburst would be cool... like a factory green-glo (not the fake ed roman one)

I think that a pyschedelic horn on the 4003 like McCartney's from MMT would be an amazing option.

I also think that the silver color available in the eighties would be nice.

so who decides the colour and how do they come to that decision ?

That's something I've always wondered about, too. Perhaps Kenny or Mr. Hall can enlighten us?

Bring back white! I'd love to get a 330 12 in white. Not that I have any money for one, but at least there would be more on the market!
