    I picked this up today... I don't know for sure if this is refinished or a custom color. I have seen some pics of this gold sparkle on Google, but I didn't know if it's original. It looks like it is and I don't see any other signs of other colors anywhere. I'm trying to figure out how to upload pictures.

    Perhaps we need a sticky that details the proper procedure for posting a pic......

    That would be GREAT! I am a collector, I have about 80 guitars and I've never posted on a forum before. I really don't know how

    Perhaps we need a sticky that details the proper procedure for posting a pic......

    I use an image host to post pics.

    Here is a link to a thread on another guitar forum where I detail the process. I hope this helps.

    http://www.everythingsg.com/threads/...-images.19597/

    BTW, I'm not trying to "push" another guitar forum on TFF, but it's just easier to link to that tutorial, rather than trying to recreate it here.

    1. I just use photobucket. Create an account, start uploading your phtots, and then you can direct-link them in here...
    2. Once they're uploaded, select one of them, and photobucket has a "direct link" URL that you can copy.
    3. Next, back here in TFF land, just start a reply, click the little icon that, when you mouse over it, says "Insert image."
    4. In the pop-up box, paste the image's URL (the link you copied).
    5. Click OK. The finished product will look like this in your message, with the addition of the image tags that the system adds, and which I can't actually add here or the system parses them as an actual image...http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...nI_600x450.jpg
    6. You can also click preview post to see if you've done the linking correct.
    7. The image that I posted is this:

    "I'm gonna find myself a girl
    that can show me what laughter means
    And we'll fill in the missing colors
    In each other's paint-by-number dreams..."

    Re: Gold Sparkle Duo Sonic ii

    I wanted to add, looking at my instructions...

    First, it's easier than it sounds, once you've got your photobucket set up.
    Second, I'm aware that not all these steps are perfectly formed to my normal tech writer precision, but I think you'll - pardon the pun - get the picture. :)

    Happy uploading! We need to see all of your axes!

    I am drooling while waiting for the OP to get those pics up somewhere. A gold sparkle Duosonic. What a tease! This is worse than being at a strip joint.

    That's awesome! So "bling-y"! I'll bet that would go nice with a gold-sparkle Slingerland drum kit in a surf band.

    To answer your other question - the "link" next to "Reply with Quote" is "Multi-Quote" which enables you to select and add multiple quotes from different TFF'ers into one post - and then you can comment on several quotes at once.

    Well, THAT was worth the wait! I am with Rickenjangle on this - time to start a surf band.

    I think that the first real Fender I played was a Duosonic. Love 'em.

    Awesome paint job on the Duo Sonic!

    Is your Paul in 5 string Keef tuning? Cuz whenever I play in open G I always take off the low string. No need for it, let the other guitarist and bassist cover that cuz I need to groove!
