Help With Colors – Mystic Green or Mystic Dream on Used SBMM JP60

Help With Colors – Mystic Green or Mystic Dream on Used SBMM JP60

Have been looking at getting a used JP60.

Recently I saw one that that was very cool metal flake green, with chrome metal tuner knobs instead of the pearloid ones. It was listed as Mystic Dream but I cannot get that thing to change colors regardless of light or viewing angle. It has very noticeable flakes/sparkles in it. Nice finish shine

A few days later, I found another one (it looked like it had a newer serial number). It did change colors and had the pearloid knobs. However, the metal flake was a lot smaller and the overall finish on the overall guitar looked drab/flat compared to the first one.

Did SBMM ever make just a green JP60 and if not, what is the story with the bigger flake green vs the flatter finish, color changing one? I understand these might be made in different factories, but the color difference and overall paint is very apparent

Anyone have a similar experience?

TIA
