JRW, I could really give a flip who owns it. Kirk ain't my fav a player, but the only requirement for ownership is the willingness to pay the asking price. I'd rather it be played than wind up in a display case. But even if it did wind up in a case, it doesn't affect my life.

No worries either way... I didnt want it... I think Kirk would be a great guy to have it.. Who says in its next life it has to play blues rock anyway.. I've already got my head around Principal Skinner playing in a futuristic techno band with a front woman that sings like Sade and is blue in complexion.. Oh wait that was the band from the movie "The 5th Element.":rofl :rofl .

Good on anyone who buys it and freaking does something positive with it.. I'm glad our own Richard H has/had it now.. Its in good hands.

Well im not pulling my hair out irritated, but jesus you'd think a guitar of that legend and caliber deserves someone better than the guy from metallica. That'd be like giving the Bloomfield burst or Page's #1 to Billie Joe Armstrong.

It's a good job you didn't want it cause Kirk had already agreed to buy it on the morning of the day we saw you. Although I did get the impression you were more interested in the old guitar that was in the boot of the Ferrari? I have to admit, the look on Mike's face when I pulled Greeny out of the trunk of the car was priceless. He's the only guy I know who can make a burst sound like a jet airplane without an amplifier. :hee

I was sorry we didn't get more time at the unofficial UK/AU/USA LPF Burst hangout.

Hope all is well with you.

Fair play to Kirk!

For most fans it should be irrelevant who owns it, more important who loans it.

(As the owner of Joey Bs Tour de Force live at RAH will testify) killer greeny tones all over that album !

My impression is that Kirk is a super nice guy with a very personable manner, not what I expected to be honest. If you wanted the guitar to got to a cool, mellow guy who'll cherish and play it.....well, then it's home.

Yeah thats true. I dont like his music or his playing, but he does seem like a hell of a nice guy. Not to mention he is obviously a fan of Green otherwise he wouldnt have bought it.

Super cool shot ... there's a lot of smiling going on ... doesn't appear to be a whiff of the infered bad karma surrounding Greeny, anywhere...

Said it before and I'll say it again...Congratulations at every level to all concerned. I think history will show just how important the recent moves have been for the future of this wonderful guitar.

:salude

It would seem Kirk's (and James) "appreciation" of Greenie would be via Gary Moore...
