"Soon you will see one of the most (if not the most) beautiful guitars ever made by the Custom Shop, Master Designed and Masterbuilt by the late John English for the 199X NAMM"

I'm pretty sure you have already seen it :wink:

I thought those were 2002/2003, could be very wrong though.

Still they were utterly gorgeous looking guitars. I cant think of anything prettier, except maybe a windsong, or the russian, or a jag strat or, or or???

The list goes on and on.

Its not a hendrix strat is it Alain? Gibson pulled it (the gibson version, not the authentic hendrix edition) from their website in 48hours. That is surely destined to be a collectable guitar, for all the wrong reasons.

No, and that Gibson crap, I can't imagine it turning into a real collectible

According to the Christies Catalog only two gold leaf Strats were built by Mark Kendrick for Eric on the occasion of the company's 50th Anniversary. The one used for the stage, was sold at the auction. The other, by Eric's permission, went to a Japanese restauranteur.

Somebody was close in a way in some page before but now it's drifting away
Soon is getting real soon now anyway ...

Ah BTW ME says a great hello to all of you, enjoying his exhilarating but exhausting European Tour.

PS I have a somewhat tired look since I had a gig ending at 4:00AM the night before, and at my age....
