What was the first year of the Broken Glass finish?

My local Guitar Center has an SL-2H in Broken Glass finish. When I picked it up to check it out the other day, the employee came running up to tell me, "Dude, that's like, a 1988 model, Dude, and, um, Dude, it's really nice, Dude, and, like, it really plays well, Dude, and, um, y'know, Dude, we can cut you a great deal on it, Dude, and, like...."

You know what pests they are.

Anyway, am I right in thinking that this finish started in the late 90's and this smartassed kid decided that I look not only "older" but also stupid? I didn't get the serial because I'm not interested in it at $1600+ with a screwed-up bridge pickup, anyway.

Just curious.

Early 80's I'm pretty sure. Wasn't it in the original Dan Lawrence graphic book?

The '80s Broken Glass finish was so much cooler than the cartoonish version of today. Here's DiabloMozart's sweet old broken glass Charvel.

Totally right. I remember the older style shattered glass finish back in the 80s. The kid might be right. I guess it depends on the style.

Yeah, it would have been wicked to say, "No, Dude, the serial number is, like, a 1996, Dude, and you know, like, Dude, maybe you shouldn't, you know, like, be bullshitting people because, like, these things can be checked, Dude."
