I thought that I'd post a few pics of the ever elusive DCM finish up close. I didn't even realize that there were "sparkles" in the finish until some bright sunlight shone on my newly acquired 330 DCM (thanks John Pollard!).

John how about a nice full guitar shot i would like to see your 330 in full view? Please!

OK. Sorry for the crummy pics.

I can faintly see the sparkles, John. But are you sure those aren't tiny dust particles?


Sparkles or not, a fine looking DCM.

Thanks john the metallic is beautiful in the sun

I've got some pretty decent pics of my 330DCM at home..... I'll post them after work.

Wow. With the guitar collecting & globe trotting, I always assumed you were independently wealthy, H.

Very nice, John! I had oven knobs on mine, too (but not in this photo, for some reason):

John B, the seller (a Forumite) sent the guitar to me with 3 sets of knobs. And a strap.

Couldn't be that lucky, Greg! In fact I'm in the process of selling 3 or 4 of my Ricks and a few other goodies to fund my next trip.........

Here's Howard and I proudly displaying our 330 DCM and 660 DCM respectively:- My best attempts at capturing the "sparkle in the sun":-

This is the only one I could find that shows a bit of the 'sparkle':
Here's a couple of others that don't:

Here's my 660 DCM in the sun:
It's a difficult finish to capture well!

You gotta love the sparkle!
