Re: Interesting Fender Sparkle Color

I know this guitar isn't an offset...but I just wanted you guys to see the sparkle finish. It goes from green to blue to purple depending on how the light hits it. It is a mexican made standard strat - back of headstock says "special edition".

I am easily distracted by shiny objects.

I like that finish. Very much indeed.

Woah dude, that's like a living guitar star!

That would make an interesting colour for a JM

That is way sweet! I am trying to get my jag repainted in sparkle. House of kolor makes some nice chamelion sparkles as well as regular ones.

Hmmm...I don't really care for any of those in the plain light of day, but, I bet those would look great underneath the stage lights!

You'd need a metallic guard or a green/white guard though to avoid any finish-induced headaches.

it's the motion that makes any sparkle finish

Infliktor, Nice! You've got the same.

What do you know about these "Special Edition" MIM strats?

Infliktor · Post by **Infliktor** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 3:51 pm

Not much, I bought it in Vegas at Ed Romans. He had about 4 of them

I changed the pickups to Curtis Novaks

what's the reasoning here?

Very limited colors....spakle not near as brilliant as Meadowbrook.

Order a color card and you will see what I mean

JazzBlaster · Post by **JazzBlaster** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 4:03 pm

I'll look into it, thanks

JazzBlaster · Post by **JazzBlaster** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 5:43 pm

I ordered the color sheet, they responded promptly so I guess I will soon see what they have to offer.
