What is the name of this finish?

[Rogueleader]

It looks kind of like coral reef, but I don't think it is.

Early Eerie Des Swirl?

[toejam]

Kinda looks like Coral Sea (though, I thought that was lighter in color). Or maybe Eerie Dess without the swirl?

I just searched for coral sea and found a reference to eerie dress being made in the early years without the swirl (http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/762...ighlight=coral)), pictures not working for me though.

When did they start doing the swirl? This ones a custom 1989 Ontario Soloist.

No clue when it was first done. I just remember seeing a few through the years.

Looks like a blue/green marbelizer finish to me.

Does the headstock match the body, or is it black? Cool finish.

[Rogueleader]

Headstock matches the body.

Cool. Can you post a pic of whole guitar, please?

Yeah, probably a marblizer. I remember Ken had a red marlizer on a Death Warrior, and there were a couple Stars done with blue marblizer that were similar.

Joe, were those factory finishes or refins?

[toejam]

Factory. Well, they were on later custom shop models, but not sure if they called them marblizer early on.

Yep, I'm gonna wait till its a nice day here so I can get some really good pictures in the sunlight.
