Historically, Sparkling Burgundy was the same as Candy Apple. I think they started out more red but could end up orange and rust from the clear coat. In the case of the faded pelham blue, I think they're saying the blue is faded as in lighter or washed out rather than a relic yellowed treatment. The black is still the sharpest. Kind of ying and yangish like Jimmy Page's Dano.
The Epi intros are nice but when is that announcement coming from Gibson that Scott was talking about? How long are they going to keep us hanging?
