Blonde, red, tobacco sunburst, cherry sunburst (rare) and black. The red is pretty much solid-not like the usual red 335's. I've never seen a black 81 but I think they exist-I've had two black 82's.

Cherry Sunburst was not a regular production color for the Dots.

There was a very short, "special" run of VCS (Vintage Cherry Sunburst) Dots in late '82, but those had four-digit serial numbers and a Custom Shop Edition decal.
