  • RR1 Color question

    What's the difference between a black RR1 as opposed to a "metallic black" RR1? Is the metallic black a sparkly metallic finish? Is the pickguard a different color?

    Black is just plain gloss black, metallic is as you say, a metallic black! The guitar itself is the same, so no changes to scratchplate finish or whatever....
    Popular is not the same as good
    Rare is not the same as valuable
    Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

      The Dinky XL on the right is Metallic Black. The Soloist Pro on the left is Black Pearl, although there's really not much difference.

        Black=plain gloss black solid color

        Metallic Black=black solid color with metallic flakes in the mix. So this one is "Sparkly"
        Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.

          Wow! Both of them look great I think. I like metallic black better...

                Yeah, my plain black DKMGT got these particles too, between the pickups... I can wipe them off though!

                    Here's my MB RR1. It's very hard to capture the speckle unless you're right up close...

                          I think he was referring to the halberd behind the Rhoads

                          Metallic colors have larger flakes than Pearls, and are more sparkly under lights. Pearls have almost a matte appearance when lit up.

                            Guitars that look like bass boats. I love 'em!
