My new sparkle

My new silhouette special arrived yesterday from Germany.
Got it from Evilbay. The sellar didn't mention it was a black sparkle. Otherwise i was sure Axilla would snap this beauty.
Its very difficult to photograph the sparkles.

Dude nice snag, Black Sparkle is so classic it's not funny and it looks to be in awesome shape.

No. I swapped the pickguard of my 98 candy red silhoutte. It's got a steve special humbucker in the bridge postion.
The original was the same colour but the pearloid effect wasn't as nice.
