White sparkle option

[motenai]

Hello to everyone!

I've recently bought a silhouette special white sparkle.
I'd like to know how much did it cost the white sparkle option. Is it true it costed 250$?
Please help me.

 

[motenai]

Anyone knows? It's very important to me.

When that colour was available (it's not now ... no more sparkle colours) it wouldn't have cost extra.

You pay for the guitar, they throw in the paint for free

 

[motenai]

What do you mean? There are color options that cost more money.

 

[Philip]

Yes they are but Beej wanted to say that yours when it was still available wasn't charged extra money for it, I think so

 

[motenai]

Ok, I'm pretty sure it was a costly option. No one has it?

 

[beej]

motenai,

You've got a pretty good crew of experts here and nobody seems to know for sure.

I'd suggest contacting EB customer support directly, or contacting a dealer to find out.

Good luck.

Not sure if there was an upcharge on it, but the upcharge on paint is usually $100.
I think some pickguards also add a $50 upcharge (all US).

Is this okay to post?

$100 was the upcharge.

I would imagine it is, becuase the upcharges are openly listed in the color chart. I thought of the same $100 thing, but then I went and checked, and it seems like bursts on maple top are $50, vintage sunburst and radiance red are $100, and mystic dream is $500! But I would be surprised if sparkles were that expensive.

All bursts are $75.00, except for Vintage SB which is $100 upcharge. Mystco Dream is $400. Here is a link to our options page:

I did get it wrong, didn't I? The sad thing is I checked it this morning.... If one day I disappear from this borad, it means I forgot any combination of password, login or the address of the board :-(

White Sparlke

Yep...it was an upgrade of about $250.00
I had a Petrucci with White Sparkle and it was sweet. The dreaded cash crunch blew into town and took my 'trucci with it. I have 2 more so I weep silent.

But , if you go back and look at on line sellers like Musician FIEND...that's FIEND aka Guitar Center...it was a $250.00 up charge. And no...I did not buy my guitars from the aforementioned corporation. I went to my regional mom and pop Ernie Ball/MM dealer...as you should too. You wanna support a bunch of share holders and execs in suites or you wanna support your home town merchant? For me it's the later.
