Magnificent...!!!!

Sat down, opened the case, and was just stunned....just looked at it for a while...thinking "...IT'S SO SPARKLY!!"

*kinda like this-

So, here's the deal with the finish- it's a blue/purple finish over the whole body, lighter in the center & heavier at the edges. The reason so many pics look so silvery is because of the overwhelming volume of magnificent sparkles!
It's another EBMM color-changing, difficult to capture in pictures, finish... and it's outstanding in person.
I'm short on time this morning, but I did manage to get a few marginal pics that illustrate how it reacts to different lighting and angles.
**this is the only one I've seen in person, so I don't know if they will all be just like this or not...

Outside, even though it's overcast, almost all you see is silvery sparkle with a hint of color...

I believe a dark background (like in the promo shots..) makes a difference as well.

So with that out of the way, meet 'Sparky'

**fresh pics on page 2---

**been having some mysterious photo fails, so hopefully these will 'stick' this time...

It's not often that something like this really exceeds your expectations, but this guitar certainly does that for me.
Need some quality time to explore and bond, but it immediately feels & sounds fabulous!
Gives that slightly brighter, snappier sound I was hoping for over the rosewood necked HH AL's ...

VERY happy with this instrument!

It just makes me randy!!! Can't wait!

Changed to ebony tuner heads? Looks nice!

Wow what a beautiful guitar. Congrats and thanks for sharing with everyone!

I'm stealing that idea of using ebony tuner knobs. It really looks good!

 

[xjbebop]

Before I forget, I wanted to shout out a huge THANK YOU to Big Poppa, the wonderful team/crew at EBMM, and Pete Dubaldo for creating this incredible and unique instrument, and for the opportunity to own one myself.
Along with the other fabulous EBMM instruments I have the honor of owning and playing, this brings joy into my life that will never be unappreciated or forgotten.

Dude congrats, I saw 2 of them in person last night and your right, it's an awesome color. I wasn't sure about the no fret markers on the fret board, but it really works well.

Enjoy!!!!!!! Glenn |B)

Congrats, Bebop! I'm encouraged by your reaction to seeing it.

I sold one of the others today so I'm not near as willing to letting mine go now

Sounds like good news! Happy to hear that for your sake.

That guitar is unreal.

 

[Willdfx]

That's amazing! I love how the used large flake for the sparkle.

 

[Ishmun]

Thanks for sharing - best pics on the net for understanding what Starry Night looks like. Can't wait for my JP6!

 

[xjbebop]

Actually, the sparkles are tiny. I'm just a long time hobbyist photographer using a P&S, but this has been about the most challenging finish I've tried to capture.
That said, I think I got a few shots this morning that show more accurately the 'billions & billions' of tiny silver sparkles (stars...) and the colors. This finish changes drastically depending on lighting & angles...

*fixed I hope...

 

[MikeVt]

Yeah - those are closer to what it actually looks like, especially the color. In person the flakes still look a bit smaller and more densely packed...but given the lighting, it's really hard to capture. Either way, it's still MUCH better in person.

Wow! Thanks for being persistent in getting accurate pics. Those look amazing!
