Yeah so I have the Mikey Way Mustang, took the pickguard off to reveal more sparkles.
And the sunfire orange Super-Sonic.
I have sparkle-mania!!

And now I saw that gold sparkle tele in the other thread... damn, DO WANT!

Someone explain the etymology of where the term SCUMBAG sparkle came from?
Glam? or what?

there is only one scumbag sparkle.

i created the term for the silver sparkle generation II 25.5 jagmaster.

it looks like fucking shit. total fucking shit. the neck was big, ugly, the finish on the back of it was total ass. the tuners were like 15 fucking dollars off a first act guitar. the whole fucking thing. the guitar angered me so much when Version 2 came out. fuck it to hell.

compare it to the beauty of its brothers and sisters.

Is that the same colour as the Pawn Shop Super Sonic?

The girlcaster, almost done, just have to figure out how to mount two lace single coils in the bridge position, securing them to a baseplate is proving a challenge.

Lace dually. It's two singles.

Love the girlcaster, btw.

Loev teh sparklez.

I saw an old Hamer Superstrat on eBay once that had a magenta metal flake finish. It was ridiculous. Wish I'd bought it.

Same one

I have two single lace sensors, buying a humbucker one is a lot more $ than trimming the tabs, and mounting it to a humbucker baseplate

Rob do you still have that pic of the one with the red tort? I made one for my scumbag last week, but something just doesn't look right.

silver sparkle with red tort?

no clue.

for everyone else calling other colors scumbag sparkle i repeat: THE ONLY SCUMBAG SPARKLE IS SILVER SPARKLE WITH BLACK PICKGUARD.
