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.

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.

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.

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.
