I have one blue sparkly Duesy..now want another sparkly blue guitar...and a tv jones...damn you

[FernandoDuarte]

Awesome!

Superb guitar.

i used to have a spangly blue squier supersonic, it had bigger flakes than this but didnt sparkle the way this one does.  i think they sprayed it a bit thick so some of the glitter went flatter and you got patches all reflecting in a similar way.  this is much better, like a crowd of tiny blue people taking photo's!!

[Twinfan]

Wow Wez, that looks incredible!  On stage it'll be fantastic!

By the way folks, I've not even seen the back yet.  I'm assuming the figure in the korina has come out quite well and Wez is keeping it a surprise.

Unless he's ballsed the wiring up  :lol:

Jebus! Does your 'paint guy' know he is awesome  :mrgreen:


[note to self] steal Ratrod's idea [/note to self]  :P

i have a pic of the back, but nothing that shows how nice it really looks, and i coudlnt capture that on a video easily.  You can just about see the shimmer in this pic:


in real life it doesnt look as pale and the slight shimmer looks like a crowd of tiny people doing a mexican wave.... ok, that may be going a bit far, it just gives it a nice touch of luxury, its a really good bit of wood

[Ratrod]

I'm gonna post that vid on the gretsch pages.

They'll love it.

:lol: Sounds completely like the TV "Call now and you'll win......" merchandise :lol:

Just realised the back plate isn't going to be recessed?  I thought it was going to be flush Wez?

[WezV]

it can be if you want it to be :)

[Twinfan]

What do you reckon?  Worth doing?  Just thinking it might finish it off nicely?
