Fender sunburst sparkle

[la bam]

Just seen an ad by Fender. 

 

They're doing the fenders in 3ts sunburst but with a sparkle. 

 

Not sure if that's terrible or great?!

I fully support this! They don't seem to photograph very well though.

You'd need sparkly tort to go with it.

This is about the best rendition I've found of said finishes (TW: not a bass)

It's more subtle than the heavy flake finishes but I still like it.

 

With that said, Sire might be doing the best production instrument sparkle finishes at the moment with the V7 red burst...

Yep, I'll be having a sparkle red V7 for definite!

Nice. They must have gotten a lot of positive feedback on the Ultraburst finish on their current American Ultra line, to introduce a more affordable version of that. I think Ultraburst looks sweet too, but a bit more "orange" than this more classic finish on the Player II. I like it a lot.
