Yep.
Not a burst. But Blizzard Pearl. A "warm" silver, or silver with a touch of mother of pearl in it. Hard to photograph, but beautiful. Has a nice tort PG on it now which looks really great, IMO.
Here it is in the background with its Tort PG.

Used to have a Fernandes Native X. Decent enough cheapie, but I think the nut was miscut or something, I had to run the high E string under the string tree weird so's it wouldn't jump the nut on enthusiastic bends. Sold it, along with another or so, to finance when I bought my Hamer Special.
Below is a shot from a three and a half minute Crash Pad record store (Media Play) appearance on June 12, 2000. The sheriff's deputies showed up about 5 minutes later. Although we'd agreed to play the set for free as a promotional appearance, when they broke our agreement and called the cops, I threatened to sue their asses in small claims. They ended up settling for a Benjamin, even. There's a song called "100 Dollars," on our second full-length release, about it.
Win/win/win.
It just occurred to me that the t-shirt I wore for the Media Play gig was emblazoned with the logo of Wayward Council, a local punk-run "record store collective" and show space. So, basically a competitor of Media Play, that stood for its exact opposite mindset/worldview. Jeez, I'm so good at being obnoxious I can do it without even knowing it.

Did you add the beer logo, or was it a promo guitar?

It’s a sticker I got at the Bitburger brewery. (Couldn’t bring myself to put it on the car.)

Good move. That sorta thing on a motor vehicle is an invitation to get pulled over.

I have a red sparkle guitar, and a silver drum wrap Gretsch, but the twain shall never meet, I guess.

I gave my stepson my TV Silverburst 1966 G400 SG (and a modified Super Champ XD) for his birthday last March. He loves it way more than I did, so that's wonderful for everyone.
Curious what you did to the SCXD.

Corporate cog
Eminence Ragin Cajun, which gives more volume and more upper and lower end sound
5751 inverter tube, which drops the tube gain a bit and warms it up

I am a HUGE fan of the SC XD. Short of dropping the many extra dimes for a full-tube amp, it's the perfect small-gig/practice amp. I used one for years for my church gig. And continue using it for my performance art/experimental side band, which tends to perform at low volumes.
Here's the SCXD at an open-air un-mic'd minimal PA gig with the side band, in conjunction with a vintage Marshall solid-state:
And I know what you mean about giving gear to people who love a piece more than oneself. My rhythm guitarist has a talent for breaking shit, and typically only brought one guitar to shows, so I used to bring an unbreakable Frankentele to gigs, for him to use as backup. He ended up playing that Tele more than I did, so when he hit ten years with Crash Pad, I just gave the dang thing to him. Win-win.
