Sorry if this is covered somewhere else but....

I have aquired a Black Luke and want another.
The Sparkle jobs like Red or Black and the Sunburst interest me most but I like them all:D

Anybody got a pic or 2 they could help me decide.

Thanks.

Sparkles are discontinued colors. Much to the lament of a lot of us but the reasoning has been covered here before. You'll only be able to find them on the bay now.

The closest colors would be either Radiance Red or Sapphire Black, they have some sparkle to them, but Siggys right the really good sparkle colors are gone and never to retrun. You have to keep your eyes open on EvilBay, they pop up there every now and then.

Best of luck, Glenn |B)

Carvon Blue Pearl is a great color. That's what color my Luke is. It rarely looks good in pics though.

I don't think you should sneak in subliminal names of other guitar companies.
It's just not right on an EBMM forum! :p

Sig----I've been here a few months and I have never seen an explanation of the reason for discontinuing the sparkle. I assume it has to do with the manufacturing process----I know alittle about paint and gelcoat and I know sparkles are a total pain in the ass to work with. Just wondrin---------BTW----I'll post some super close ups of my radiance red luke when it arrives in a few weeks so's folks can see the gold flake in the paint.

Are the JP colours available on the LUKE like Autumn Gold - that yellow/gold/orange colour? Is the LUKE available in any FLIP colours like the JP Mystic Dream?

The Luke isn't available in autumn red rise, I believe that color is disconinued as all the sparkle colors are discontinued, and as far as I know it also isn't available with flip colors. The only color that comes close is radiance red, which has a goldish glimpse.
