Fred, thanx man I'm really proud of my balls. There a huge story behind the Fuschia Sparkle Silhouette Special, it's a one of a kind. It took me 3 months to get my hands on that and I mean this when I say it "NOTHING WILL EVER PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS"!!
You can still find Silver Sparkles here and there, I just got that at the beginning of the year, it was NOS. I fell in love with it, so I got the guitar and my wife got a chair.
I'm not a lover of matching head stocks, too me the head stock should match the neck. I am a huge lover of maple necks and I think the EB/MM's look/work/are awesomely perfect.
Thanx for the kind words.
Later, Glenn |B)
