Whats the history of sparkle finishes on TCM guitars?
According to our best information, TCM did no more than 30 sparkle guitars (and perhaps fewer) from late 1997 to December 1999. The only models finished in sparkle were the Polaris and the Monarch, and the colors used were orange, red, blue, purple and possibly green. The sparkle itself was from Kar Kolor and was sprayed mixed with nitro lacquer, using a Devilbiss agitator cup, in a spray booth separate from the regular one.
