    The main difference between these two samples in person is that the Quicksilver looks smoother. The Sparkle has more of a grainy appearance to it. But it's very slight.

    This is how I always remembered the Silver Sparkle finish.


    Horrible picture, but that mid to late 90's Scott Ian JJ that had that finish always stood out to me.

    I think the pearls or whatever they use in the finish to create the sparkle effect was bigger or more significant on older versions of that finish.

    Here's another guitar from the 90's with Silver Sparkle. This one is a burst though.

    This is a mighty silverburst!

    Never known that Jackson offered that option.

      as cool as the flake finishes are, the paintjob seems more 'brittle' than a nice natural finish.
