New to me, sparkle StingRay5!!

I have wanted a black sparkle SR5 with a matching headstock for many years now. Have seen very few that werent maple, and I wanted rosewood. Anyway, got the chance on this one and couldnt pass it up. I have to say, the pics just dont do this one justice. Sounds quite amazing too!!!

As I stated on the EBMM forum, I really like the combination of color, pickguard, pickup cover, fretboard and matching headstock.

Congratulations again!
 
No dude, its black sparkle. from back when they did the sparkle finishes for a short run. Ive had a bunch of other sparkles ,to include a black sparkle StingRay and Ive also owned a sapphire black Ray, so I can tell you without question that its not sapphire black the difference is more marginal in person.

Heres a couple pics below to show you what Im trying to say:
