There's a specific moment, in EPISODE VI: Return of the Jedi, where Luke challenges the authority of Emperor Palpatine in the Throne Room aboard the new Death Star, and Darth Vader simply looks at Luke and says, "it is useless to resist."

CURSE YOU FILMS WITH YOUR METAPHYSICAL CONNECTION TO REAL LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES!

OK just saw #3 again, man wish I could figure out how to get the scratch, also I know where #1 is:p, but till I here from ernie1966 I am not telling:)

But here are some pics of #3, forgive the pics but the lighting and neon signs cause havoc, also Robbie teased me with the news he has more MM stuff on the way:)

I asked Dargin if he would ever make one of those about 2-3 years ago when we got the BFR SR5 in Tahitian Blue as a guitar equipped that way is a dream guitar for me. He said maybe someday. Well I guess that day is today and the guitars are frikkin beautiful but sorry, but I won't buy one from GC.

If anyone wants to buy one and trade it in with me towards something, let me know!

# 27

Need to get some better pics outdoors! I just got # 27 last night and I noticed on the list of GC stores that OKC had # 21 and # 27 was in Manhattan? Amazing top and finish in the right light.

They know me pretty well at the GC store. The manager will always call me when something cool comes in. I let a LP Deluxe and Explorer go towards a trade deal on the MM BFR. Not sure why your store wants to hold it till Aug. You should be able to use a 10% off event to help with the cost.

Fing was kind enough to have his GC guy find out where # 1 went. It didn't go to anywhere you would think like NY or CA. I've been tracking the #'s and IMO they are ending up in places totally at random. Funny, the #1 was on the GC website, but the pic of the back of the guitar was of another Pet (#4), giving no indication it was 1/50. Now the guitar is off the site. I don't know if this is some kind of silly conspiracy, but it is odd. If it was sold, I think they would have the pics up with the "SOLD" stamp underneath.

Keith, if you wanna let the cat out of the bag, ie: where #1 went, it's okay with me. Keep in mind it might be sold already or maybe being held back for some other reason.

If do go for one of these Pets, it ain't be for the # on the trem plate, but for the coolness of the top.

OK Ernie, just wanted the King of Pets to have first shot at anyone you wanted:)

OK Robbie called HQ and they told him #1 was at GC #392 which is Edina Minnesota, maybe it is sold or just wrong pics uploaded, no matter what they are all awesome and selling pretty quick, and about the not available til August 1st, originally GC was not going to start selling them until then, but changed there mind on that:)

any special care I need to know about this guitar? I assume std polish/wipe is fine, anything for the ebony board? if so, how does everyone block the trem off, so all strings can be taken off?

thanks

Hey Ernie, I noticed the double listing for #4 a couple of days ago and checked things out. The #4 photo for Edina was uploaded incorrectly, so they took the duplicate images down.
Didn't know Edina had #1, but it all makes sense now - they obviously thought that the top for #4 was so fricken cool that it was probably #1, so just uploaded without checking ;) :D :D

Diz,

That was the Pet you wanted from the start, so if #1 was your choice without knowing, cheers to you!

Go my eye on this one, I think the top is freaky-deaky and me likes
