Back to Rumbush, and I really don't like to keep rehashing this point, but in the interest of accuracy, neither Autumnglo or (the newer) Montezuma Brown has three colors in the burst. Nor does FG or BBR. Both are a result of spraying a semi-transparent single dark color--a dark reddish-brown in the case of AG, and a less reddish but equally dark brown in the case of MB--over a plain (untinted) sealed natural maple guitar. One color in each case. This is how I will duplicate Autumnglo for David Coyle's '68 335 (which I will be painting in the next couple of weeks and I will post the photos...). I will start out with an amber-tinted clear (to give the aged appearance) and spray only one color--a semi-transparent reddish-dark brown--over it in varying thicknesses to achieve the burst. In Fender terms, this would be called a "two color sunburst". However, when either of these colors--AG or MB-- is photographed, the camera interpolates the reflective color content in the blend area, into a third color. I have seen this in every photo of my own new MB guitars (before they have had any time to yellow). They always seem to show a third color in photos, but there is no third color. Oliver, if you look closely at your actual guitars' finishes, you will see that the blend area in which you think you see a third color, is actually just the darker color in a thinner coat, so that the natural maple shows through. This is made more complex when a finish ages and the conversion varnish turns that wonderful amber tone, making the center (natural) look yellowish, and the transition area look orange. What you are describing makes the Rickenbacker AG and MB finishes sound like 3-color bursts, and I can assure you they are not; nor are BBR or FG. These are literally one color sprayed in varying thicknesses over a natural maple guitar. | ||

"For the anniversary celebration, how about every previous COY available for order during 2006?" Yes! But failing that, snowglo is way too great a name to waste | ||

As long as it doesn't end up looking like a darned wedding cake (a-la Gretsch White Falcon) I think Pearlgo would be nice! Autumnglo is still my #1 choice. | ||
