I really like flake finishes and want one but I also like that a guitar with a solid color like Daphne blue can take dents and scratches and still look cool and have character whereas guitars with flake finishes seem to need to be kept looking beautiful at all times to maintain the dazzling appearance. It just seems like a guitar with a shiny flake finish, like those super pimped out PRSs, needs to be babied at all times as any wear on a guitar with a such a finish would be a negative - that's my impression anyway of flaky finishes. I love the appearance but I don't want to worry about constantly trying to keep it from dents & dings...
Anyone have any pics of guitars/bass with flake finishes that have wear on them? I need to see what a flake finish looks like that has a little road wear to see if it still looks good to me or not, as I want something other than my typical choices of black and vintage white for this guitar.
