I'd LOVE to see more sparkles...

I can so easily imagine a SPARKLE AL on my wall in :

1- Pink (not too deep)
2- GOOOOOLD
3- Gremlin green
4- Anything blue

The neck will be great whatever...It's a MM. Oh yes, SS frets. :D

Thanks for your attention BP :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I lie awake at night! :)

I'd go for a sparkle, something with flakes the size of hubcaps because subtlety is NOT my middle name! :) - how about adding royal-purple or fire-engine-red to the color choices?

The African Mahogany bodies were a hit in 2014 because of their lightness...

Roasted necks are always a positive...

I can't argue with stainless frets...

Can I place my order yet?! :D

Are you my long lost twin brother by any chance? :D

I am ready and waiting for a sparkle select series in pink.


I know I posted this a while ago and deeply apologize for insisting.


But I can't help drooling when I imagine an AL in this kind of sparkle colour/ gold hardware :

But would hate anything too flashy such as this :

Careful not to stray into Apple's Rose Gold territory though.
I believe John Oliver described that as someone barfing up a salmon dinner.
Ouch

I have always had a hard time covering up all that beautiful wood with paint.

- I'm with ya on SS frets... Will never buy another guitar without them.
- Would be cool to see an Ebony fretboard.

Never loved the sparkle series or the vinate burst ones, but i love the neptune blue! Wouldnt it be great to see something like the neptune in trans green burst? Roasted maple neck and ebony board. Alder body mayebe. I'd like to see a jp6 in that configuration!

As a follow on to Neptune Blue...

Pluto Purple

That's some good thinking right there! :)

How about African Mahogany with a trans-purple finish so Flash Gordon can see the wood grain?

I haven't seen anybody *not* want SS frets - so that's a done deal.

Can we agree on roasted neck rather than rosewood?

I like rosewood fretboards, others like maple, but this is a special run so I'd go for ebony and that's a nice contrast to the purple(ish) body.

OK, BP - we just about have this all figured out - fire the product development department, don't need them anymore :) - and tell the boys that make sawdust there's gonna be some overtime soon! :D

What about Black Hardware?
I think that would look really cool, with an Ebony Board and Purple Body.

I think it would be best, if Forumites get a Free One right away :D

Kev, I'm in! I'll take an Axis BFR and would LOVE a Silo special... With a quilted top ala 20th Aniv. Style. As much as I think black hardware looks great on certain styled guitars, I'd have to go chrome on these.
