    ESP SPARKLE OUIJA (Tracking)

    Hello guys,

    Here is a thread to track the red and purple ESP Sparkle Ouija serial numbers, their respective owners and the Country the guitar is located in.

    There are not too many of these guitars out there, so it shouldn't be that hard lol.

    The names in bold text are the current owners of these guitars that are forum members.

    The names in regular text are the guitar owners or previous owners that I am unsure if they are forum members or not as that is all the information I have on them.

    If anyone can send me extra info and/or pics that would be great also. Or any corrections that need to be made, just let me know here or via PM.

    hi,
    how are these compared to '98 ouija's, kh2's etc. (as i own those allready)
    I'm doubting to pull the trigger in purchasing 2 of them atm. it's a high price tag and i would buy them to play them
    not to 'hopefully' someday cash on them (don't think that they will go much higher than retail) so it's a big investement for me atm.

      Benny, these new Sparkle Ouijas are two of the best Hammett guitars ever made mate.  

       

      I also own the 98 Ouija and as cool as that guitar is, these new Sparkle Ouijas will blow you away with their build quality, their look and their tone. 

      It’s a huge investment, but you only live once and there aren’t too many of us out there that own both of these guitars.

                  let's say i'm very unlucky.. i just purchased them, when trying them out at home red one was perfect, purple one, the bridge pickup sounded very odd, low output, sounded like a single coil.. everything was checked at omega (shop) and it's def. not the wiring/switch etc. it's the pickup.....
                  They are still waiting for an answer on how to solve this with ESP (since it's painted).. Anyone handled with them before on a similar situation?

                    I know the shop says it's not the switch, but the first thing I'd try to do is to resolder and/or replace the switch. Any time I've ever had an issue with EMGs, resoldering the switch has fixed the issue.

                      they did resolder the switch whilst i was there, and also wouldn't it then not allow any sound at all to go thru?
                      now it's really low output single coil-ish sound coming thru..

                        That is a bummer. Are the connections at the pot soldered or is it all quick-connect? I'd try wiring the pickup straight to the jack, just to confirm. (They may have done this, I'm just saying what I'd do.) Everything else is easy to replace, but yeah, dealing with a busted painted pickup would suck.

                          interested to see how they resolve this..
                          been over a week now with no answer, hopefully tomorow,
                          i also suggested just now maybe swap pickups (since it's quick connect it's plug&play) to def. make sure it's
                          the pickup.. I could do all that but i just bought them, i'd rather have the shop deal with it than fiddle with anything myself.

                              Hi folks, I can fill in a couple of gaps. My store Live Louder in the UK took one of each.

                              Red Sparkle #28 is brand new and here.
                              We sold our Purple Sparkle a while back. Judging by the gaps i think that was #29. I'll leave the customer anonymous.

                              Cheers, Dan.

                                Hello Dan,

                                Thanks heaps for helping out mate, really appreciate it.

                                #28 looks like a beauty also! 

                                Just wondering if purple #29 stayed in the UK or did it go to an overseas buyers?
