Colors and Body Finish

'Fireglo' (a shaded red), the company's longest running color option, has been made available every year since 1958, with 'Jetglo' (black) and 'Mapleglo' (natural) right behind, being made available every year since 1959. The colors' names usually have official abbreviations (such as 'JG' for 'Jetglo').

Current Available Colors

• Fireglo (FG) - a sunburst color; deep dark red that fades into a lighter maple center
• Jetglo (JG) - black
• Mapleglo (MG) - Natural
• Walnut (W) - Walnut unlacquered body with natural unpolished maple neck and fretboard. Introduced 2014 (not the same as WAL).^[57]
• Matte Black (MBL)
• Matte Autumnglo (MAG) - a matte sunburst color; deep brown that fades into a yellow center

Non-standard, only available for 650 series:

• Walnut Oil Finish (WAL)

Non-standard, 480/481/483 Series:

• Among the 'special' colors available for the 480 series guitars, AutumnGlo (AUTUM) and Walnut (WAL) are often mistaken as being the same. AutumnGlo on the 480 series represented a flat matte finish, where Walnut designated the same color and burst, but in a traditional lacquered finish.
