The gold sparkle on the Strat looks cool, but since my name isn't Dick Dale I don't think it's a look I'd be able to pull off.

Needs bigger metal flake, like bass boat shit.

I like it in theory... but prefer the orange sparkle used on the Supersonic RI or a big flake silver sparkle.

Its also an extra couple hundred dollars for it just because of the color

Gold flake isn't just a colour. It's a way of life.

Mr. Park started spraying nitro (20 layers, as usual) in a number of sparkle finishes on Moollon P-Classics as of late. Gold as by far been the customers' choice.

I myself am considering buying one in the above Ruby Red and fitting it with a maple neck and anodized guard, kinda like Ken's Fernandes LD-85KK

Love em both, gold flake makes Strats and especially Teles super fabulous. Love gold both of them

I dig it and I can totally pull that off. Not because I'm suave and cool like Dick Dale, but because I'm kinda sleazy and scary in that 1970's trailer park fashion.

Designed by Greg Fessler of The Fender Custom Shop(that is his CS 64 Strat in the photo)

I love the strat and it has the nice cp 60s specs. It might be my next big purchase. Also the tele just needs to ditch the black p guard and it would look much better

Edit: wait wait wait - heel truss rod adjustment in the year of our lord 2014?

Yes,same as the Custom Shop version.

Bob Dylan used to have a Gold Sparkle Strat (link)

The finish on the FSR looks more like Joe Bonamasa's strat

Anything in gold sprakletwinz needs a bigass pickguard to make it pop

Dem sparkling '72 Deluxes sure look purty even with maple necks.
