Show me your metal flake guitars!

[Gamera]

I've been jonesing for an orange or green metal flake super strat, single hum, pickguard, maple neck, project guitar. I've been casually looking in local stores and online and I realize I'm a big fan of the cheesy metal flake stuff in any color! So show me yours!

Jackson JS20 --- subtle but awesome metal flake. This is the best picture I have of it; it's definitely a hard finish to capture.

This'n's for sale in the Trading Post if you like it :laugh2:

I have never owned a metal flake guitar (sadly), but I do love them! I gotta give props to Gibson, as they semi-regularly pop them out of the custom shop. The more like a bass boat, the better.

yeh, I have a green "metallic" roadstar ,but I think metal flake is more like 3s co.^ said big glittery flakes... think Bass Boat,corvet stingray, old Kustom Tuck n Roll cabs ect

Let''s see it! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Big, glittery, disco ball in a 70's muscle car flakes.

I've probably said this before, but if I were famous (and had guitars custom made for me) or money was no worry to me, every guitar I owned would be in metal flake. Different colors, patterns, and guitars, but the common denominator would be sweet-ass-sweet metal flake in the finishes.

my rogue bass is metal flake but its black so does not show up well on the camera. However my LP is awesome silver metal flake cheeziness, but not overly cheezy, just the epi version of the Gibson LP:

Re: Show me your metal flake guitars!

why doesn't anyone paint guitars like they do Harley's?

(flakes on top of flakes, and ghost flames, and skulls and all that together)
