New Silhouette special owner

[ex3.8]

Hey All. I just got a new SLSP yesterday. I love it. I started playing guitar 22 years ago, and this is my 3rd ( real) guitar after a Les Paul that i sold cuz i didn't like the way it played (sorry) and a Tele that i sold cuz i was stupid. I have owned sold, traded all kinds of axes from kramer focus, ibanez, godin, aria,gibson, teles but nothing comes close to this one. I still own my first (semi) real guitar wich is a 1982/83 squire strat moded to a "van halen" strat for sentimental reasons. anyway sorry about the ramble.
nice to be here.

color

Not sure what it's called but I emailled EB to find out cuz on the site color chart it ain't there and neither on the
"buil an instrument" I think it may be "burned apple"
It's got the sparkle candy apple red contour with a sparkle sunburst in the middle !! I originally wanted the vintage sunburst. but now the more i look at it the more i feel lucky to have had it.
I think it is discontinued.
