Surely, it's due to the fact, that you cannot possibly deserve either guitar, after your providing links that do not work! JK, just wanted to let you know the links aren't clickable at this point. I would like to see those models available too. :wink:

Certainly would be more diplomatic of you to ask precisely what finishes he is referring to.

There is a black in the Artist series. There is an EC Gray and a Daphne Blue CS Limited Edition available in the UK only. There were two Crashocasters done for him, one of which was let in a giveaway contest.

I think he actually had three Crashocasters made. If I recall correctly, the one pictured here was used on the majority of the 2004 tour as well as at the first Crossroads Festival.

He also had the one that he used on basically every tour since the 2001 tour and he used this one towards the end of the 2004 tour. This one:

Then he had one more which I know he used on the 2001 Japan tour. This one:

Sorry for the poor quality pic but its a screen cap from a dvd.

I've seen two of them, the second and third listed here. He used the third one on the first night at Madison Square Garden in 2004 after snapping a string on that second one during Cocaine.

Now there's a great bit of trivia digging. I've never seen that one. The Crossroads guitar was the one that went to the drawing, which I first saw on the cover of 'Guitar Player' and eventually learned where they were coming from.

I hope the OP's questions have been answered. :wink:

Yeah I don't think he used it very often. Seems like mainly a backup guitar which is how it was put to use that night at MSG.

Ditto on the Crossroads Concert. Now some fortunate son is keeping it for posterity. Personally, I prefer the first one done for him.
