If a Disco Ball became a guitar.

There are many who can pull off carrying an axe like that.

I am not one of them.

Absolute beauty, especially with that gold hardware complementing the Silver Sparkle. Add some bronze strings (somewhat odd but still …) and you have an Olympic podium.

The gold plated option used to give you gold plated pole pieces on the pickups. Looks like they forgot to do that (or opted not to) along with the silver screw for the string retainer.
