Acrylics are usually a little less popular, no?

I agree, the acrylics are usually my least favorite. My one exception was the rattlesnake skin acrylic on the 47 viper. I thought that turned out great.

I'm not keen on acrylic, but there are more than a few that I wish I had.

 

[Danke42]

I sure like this one.

I am not a fan of Acrylics. They can be very pretty to look at but it's not a cover material that ages well with use, in my opinion, and it gets slippery/slimy in a quick hurry.


That aside, this current run of 48s looks very nice - I do like the cover choices. I think the 48 frame remains one of my favorites from GEC; it is long, lean, and has a lot of blade for the real estate. It helps that it's darned comfy in hand as well. I don't have many of them but they remain staples in my collection.

Well there are still some out there at the higher end dealers.

Would love to see those blue in really any pattern.

Couldn't agree more. We are overdue for a 78 in my opinion.

Man that's a beautiful example! If I didn't hate tomatoes, I would have to find one.

Thanks! I usually don’t go for the acrylics, but I like the look of this one.

I’m a sucker for acrylics but the tomato looks particularly good.

I think you won the tomato acrylic lottery!

I’m not as excited about mine, which is almost all orange-red with only a couple swirls, but hey, at least the fit, finish and action are nice.

Thanks, I got lucky this time! Yours is nice, haven’t seen any that weren’t yet. I like covers that have variation.
