Fireglo. Has to be Fireglo. Nothing else for the 330 but fireglo fireglo fireglo. Save the Jetglo for when you get hooked and go after your 360-12. Like me.....

Actually, I mean generally speaking that photos on the net sometimes don't represent the true color.

I have a beaten up '66 Rose, Morris 1998 with finish wear evident nearly all over the body. Instead of digital photos "not doing it justice" they actually make it look in better condition than it really is. I'm not talking about low resolution hiding the flaws, even high res and good colour matching make it look great. I'm just stating this in case people are under the wrong impression that guitars are always better in real life than in photos.

I'm talking about the quality of the photo itself (resolution) not about hiding flaws. Usually photos on the net are around 72 dpi.

Dan, you're right about that,not only resolution, but some digital cameras don't render red particularly well (mine for example-not a cheap one either!)
Mark, your also right, my beat up 330 looks almost mint in a photo. Beat up, but beautiful!!!

I'm gonna buck the trend and recommend Jetglo. Because, simply, I like it more :-)

But get what you want.

It sort of depends on application...are you going to be playing out and if so, what kind of band/music? This is sort of a Lemmy vs. Squire aesthetic debate, or in this case, maybe Lemmy vs. McGuinn...

"Lemmy" and "aesthetic" mentioned in the same sentence?



Oh, sorry--was that arrogant?

How 'bout a term Lemmy fans can wear with pride? "Ignarrogance!"

Anthing can catch on; as you may recall, it was once uncool to be called a punk...
