Can anyone tell me what the Colors of the year were for the past five years? Also, on an average, what percent of Rickenbacker's output were painted in the color of the year? Lastly, what percentage of these instruments were bass guitars?
Thank you.

All I can impart, Joey is the colours (sic) of the year for 2003/4 - Montezuma Brown, 2004 Blue Boy and 2005 Blueburst. Before that, dunno!!

As to the colour and bass percentages I think somebody from Headquarters might be needed here.

Cheers

Sorry, Joey. Erik jumped in at the same time and his info is far more useful than mine.

Was it Burgandyglo or Burgundyglo Erik?
