Seen lots of black D-25's, never one quite like this. Judging by the price, the sparkles MUST be flecks of gold.

Put me in the category of slightly shocked.
It is indeed, as Dread said so succinctly, "UGLY!" Yikes! :roll:

Thanks, Hans! An interesting choice to be sure......

Wow, that's really........UGLY!

As the owner of a Tak Flying V acoustic, we'll certainly take your word on that!! :lol: :lol:

The seller seems to be awfully proud of that finish.

 

[AlohaJoe]

For acoustic shredding? :lol:

 

[dreadnut]

Yeah, I know ugly when I see it for sure!! You should see what I traded for that Tak Flying V :lol:

Seems to me I've seen rainbow-colored-sparkly Bluesbirds that actually looked kinda cool.

It may be ugly, but it lights up like a christmas tree. Somehow, I don't see that as an attribute... but then again.... christmas lights do improve somethings ...like a ratty pickup track

 

[kevin the bass man]

on second thought...still ugly

UGLIEST GUITAR CONTEST! Or has that already been done here? Actually if Hans hadn't said so I wouldn't have believed it was factory. :shock:

 

[Qvart]

Actually if Hans hadn't said so I wouldn't have believed it was factory. :shock:

Well, it was available at the time on other models. At least that D25 didn't come with this headstock!

Oh I knew it came elsewhere I just wouldn't have believed it on an acoustic. And really, if they put that finish on there, why NOT the headstock? :lol:

Heck, they could've gone all the way and done the X-79 body shape too. Could've been a big hit with the power-ballad-addcited-faux-metal-glam-bands. :lol:

At least they paved the way for Pearl Jam. (Don't get me wrong, I like Pearl Jam, and I ain't afraid to say it.)

Kinda like Madonna's pointy bras?

 

[earbleedz]

I like it.

 

[killdeer43]

If it has that D25 sound, the sparkle would fade it time.
It would also be a great conversation piece because it's certainly 'different' than any finish I've seen (or wanted to see) on an acoustic.
