From L-R, my 2020 American Ultra Tele, in Texas Tea, 1990 Strat Plus, in Frost Red, 2022 Rickenbacker 360, in Fireglo, 2021 American Ultra Stratocaster, in Red Plasma Burst, and Martin SC-13E.
Heh. Entirely unintentional (I think - maybe it’s subconscious?). In 1990, I originally ordered a Clapton Strat in Midnight Blue, but it was taking so long I asked what they had in stock, and they had that Frost Red one, so I took that instead. I really wanted a blue Rickenbacker, but couldn’t find one on Reverb that I like (no chips or wear), so I ordered new from Sweetwater, and I liked Fireglo better than Jetglo or Mapleglo. The Ultra Strat - I really wanted an ash body, and that was the nicest color in the series with an ash body. I guess the red theme just sort of happened…
