This is nothing "new" in the Les Paul world...

Danny - I hope you enjoy yours.

Gerbil, eh?

So, how are they like in real life? Is the colour clean, like in these pictures, or sparkly?

Mine arrived today. It's nowhere near as sparkly as those Metallic Flake Les Pauls. That being said, It DOES have "some" shimmer in the finish, almost like a little bit of blue glitter. You only see it in the right light though, from close enough. Otherwise it just looks like a really nice shade of blue. I'll post pictures of mine to these forums tonight when I get home.

Good thing you didn't buy one then!
I like mine a lot. Pretty interesting finish.

I think it's a cool idea. I fell in love with the Gretsch 6120 I saw Brian Setzer with a couple years ago. Big gaudy red flakes, just beautiful. You say this is fairly subdued, where's the pics?
