Found! Thanks to this webite! Without it, there would be no way. In 2006 they archived an auction that happened to be "THE" auction. I even spoke to an agent on ebay trying to see if they backup their photos. She had NEVER seen an auction 2 years old. The person who runs this site deserves that credit. Without everyone heres help, I wouldn't have found it...Talked to the guy tonight and is one of the nicest guys I've ever spoken to. Guess what. Serial number says #792 :D (gotta show that to john at the factory)

Money order is in the mail tomm. via overnight.

Thanks everyone!

Wow! You have amazing persistence, that's almost a needle in a haystack quest. Congratulations on your find, and best of luck on the others. Still keeping an eye out for you, but it looks like you may not need the help.

I was going to say the same thing Serge did. I thought you were nuts, but on the other hand, I've often wished I'd have spent some time looking for momentos. Nothing like following a dream. Congratulations.

Oh, I'm crazy :D
The one thing that fell that made this happen was the archive from this site. Without that...simply put...no way

Like I've said before, if anyone is looking for anything in particular, let me know and I'll add it to my search. It's the least I could do.

Have these guitars mentioned in your will. That way they will go to where you want if something ever happens unexpectedly or the inevitable.
If you need my name and address let me know.

:cool:

Enjoy

We're all moody, but he's referring to moody p.i. Look on the member list. He's one of the old guys.

I meant what I said, although I think you're younger than me. Definitely younger looking.

The music I like to cover is older than this................I still call new music releases "Albums"


Reminds me of a story, I'll have to make a new thread.
