I have one ;) I'd only get it so Sparkles has a friend.

Of course it's located where I used to live.

I am still annoyed about the Silver Sparkle Supersonic I missed on ebay for $225 :(

It amazes me that someone could be so clueless about the worth of their Super-Sonic!

I almost got one just like this off of craigslist last summer for $80...the dude said he would hold it for me until I got off work.... After he got a million emails with more and more offers he then turned it into a bidding war..... I told him to forget it cuz I would not do the whole bidding war thing and hope it was still there when I got off work.... I hope he sold it for cheap and got screwed...

I am going to Houston (my home town) in a couple of weeks. I might contact the seller.

Contacted the seller.

Sale is pending, but he will let me know. I have to wait until Friday or so.

I have texted the seller a few times. It seems he is not confident in the other deal he has. He quoted me $425 shipped, but if I get a shot at it, I will try to meet him in person when I am down in Houston in 2 weeks and get the $350 price. It looks really pristine.

I may put out some feelers to sell some pedals in case he decides to sell to me.

I haven't bought one for two years, and I'm getting itchy myself. There is a white one here in my city, but he wants $650. Looks to be pretty mint.

Are any of yours SS still stock? My favorite is the blue sparkle and the white, but this silver one seems in good shape. I would rather have a silver one rather than none at all.

None are stock. I've had a Super-Sonic ever since 1998, and that one got new pickups right away. All five are custom now. I could switch the black one back to stock, as I kept all the original parts for that one.
I never thought that they should remain stock. I love the foundation of the Super-Sonic, but not the stock set-up.
This white one, If I get it, could remain stock. It looks pretty mint. Then I could make my current white one a Johnny Ramone tribute (black pickguard, strat pickup, mini-humbucker, mismatched knobs).
