any pics?

Yuppers - don't wanna hijack the thread but I think they're only a page or two back on the big sticky pics thread.

Mine's the trans blue one with the abalone PG.

I bought myself the complete collection of Knight Rider on DVD. 27 DVD's of pure joy!

I know, before anyone mentions it...

I can only speak for dealers I spoke too, (So that's almost all UK dealers!) Nobody has had an AL "on the shelf" that wasn't a customer order in over 9 moths, When I was looking for one, I got laughed at by every shop I called. The best comment was " yeah, and I want a crate of original tubescreamers sealed but that's not gonna happen either......"

Feel free to ship those annoying AL's over here (through the proper channels of course!) , one of the most suprising guitars on the planet.

I'm confused...I was replying to Jon's reply on my horrible failure of a comedic abortion...

FYI: i editted your post to remove the price. one of the few rules here is that we cant post dealer (street) prices... retail price (MSRP) and used prices are all good tho.

and ps: for anyone who saw the original price on this post.... i got my NOS AL cheaper than that at Rocker Guitar in SF. they have a trans gold SSS AL w/o matching and tort for a helluva great price
