The Skinny on Sparkle's Demise

[ernie1966]

Take a gander at this post from the low-end side of our forum for the scoop on why the sparkles went bye-bye.

And let this be a lesson to all of us that keep whining for a retunr to the sparkle-ness or...whatever.

Aww, it's too much fun driving Jongitarz up the wall!

But seriously, I guess if you had to have a sparkle, you could buy used
or go to someone like GMW and have them refinish your guitar. I do
fail to see how a limited run for enthusiasts would break the company,
but that's for the suits to decide I guess.

I was gonna chime in with something here hoping that it doesn't lead to more hair being pulled out up in SLO but...

I've always loved the bursts of blue dawn, burnt apple, etc.

And it wasn't the sparkles that sold me on my bluedawn Luke as much as the coloring. And I guess I'm wondering if those colors WITHOUT sparkles would sell any better? Or would be worth a try?

But I'll shut up before Big Poppa decides to shove a Big Moppa up my a$$.

I love my Blue Dawn Silo and my Rare Sparkly Burnt Apple Petrucci. The BD Silo is my number 1 stage guitar. I feel fortunate to have them both

Sparkles are kind of cool to gawk at...but I would never buy one.
