Steve's was selling it for 699$

I was looking for one for months too....Really excited about it, I put a deposit on it when I bought my classic 50 jan 31st

confusing post is confusing


in this confusing post you type WTF IS A SPARROW then at the end you say you have been looking for one for months.....

how can you be looking for something that you don't know what it is?

A friend of mine out in Vancouver does custom paint jobs for Sparrow guitars. Here's a link, I can't post the images directly here because there part of some Flash thingy on his web site.

if that's a family surely the les paul is the shifty uncle who always brings a plastic bag full of fosters everywhere and tells the children stories about john wayne gacy.

Look at the Mustang squeezing as far away as it possibly can without rudely leaving.

the jagmaster is turned away slightly trying to edge pauly out of the conversation.

jagmaster: why did you even invite him?
mustang: come on he's my uncle.
jagmaster: but he's covered in those terrible flames and i swear he's been eyeing my back plate all evening.

One of the reasons I love it so much is because it's soooo much different than my Mustang, and jagmaster.
I still love both my mustang and jagmaster, but it's nice to play something different.

In the end it came down to the sparrow or the 72 Deluxe Tele, but i liked the sparrow fuck loads more

Plus I really like the flames...even though this is the only guitar I've ever liked flames on...

It sounds amazing through my Classic 50 too

i guess in terms of flames on a guitar that does actually look good, much better than some i have seen,
but it still rubs me the wrong way.

I think one of the reasons why I think it's really cool is cause I can't recall ever seeing a les paul with flames and a bigsby...so it's pretty cool that it's quite unique.

For some reason the pictures make it look alot fatter than it really is.

It looks nice. The flames dont look too bad, I think it might be because they are the same/similar colour to the body and therefore don't stand out too much. They're tasteful. Unlike:
