Sparkle Finishes

[Mike Duncan]

I think I've looked through every guitar of the week and have a very good idea of which model I plan to order. It looks like just about any solid color can end up have the sparkle treatment...though I don't see it on line, any chance of a Dick Dale style sparkle (like any of the Anderson sparkles I've seen) but in the metallic green color?

I have this vision of a Classic S, Indian RW fretboard/giant maple neck, heavy frets, left handed vintage trem (I can dream) aged p/g all on a ridiculously sparkled candy green alder body! :D

I asked Tom about that very thing recently. Most metallic finishes can be done in a sparkle version. The sparkles are basically a metallic base coat with a sparkle coat over that. I have a Classic on order with a Metallic Charcoal base done with a sparkle coat. The thing about sparkles too is that no photo does them justice. They are much, much nicer looking in person when you get the full 'sparkling' effect. Very dynamic finishes.

I agree, in person, the sparkle was much more intense, but it gives you some idea.
