+1 I can't wait to catch some video of you playing that thing under the lights. That is going to be so cool when the lights hit it!

Can't wait to see some pics of that! A great song starter would be a pin spot (with no other lights) focused on that beauty!!

Re: And Now For Something Completely Different...

I don't think so. Lady Gaga's guitarists have Les Pauls that Robert did, and every night she strums them with her stiletto heels, scraping her heels over the guitars with no apparent damage. They're on there pretty good!

Wow, that's quite a compliment and I humbly thank you. As a huge Clapton/Cream fan myself that would be the thrill of a lifetime!
Much Love,

This will be the most expensive Inspired By model ever, and in a limited run of just five or so. And the first four go to Elliot

It's super cool! The black outline really brings it togheter, I wouldn't like it as much if all the front of the guitar was coloured.
