Is this the same grumpyoldman who is whoring out his two Axis out to me...hey grumpy it's me Paolo!!!

It is, but "whoring out" is a bit harsh....

Didn't realise the first run pinkburst ALs were so rare! My dad has one - I'll have to tell him....:)

I don't know how rare they actually are, but my use of 'rare' is used as opposed to 'medium' or 'well-done' - hence the "still pink in the middle" line...a lame attempt I admit....my apologies to all...

However, I have also been advised by a good friend that this is a rather rare finish...

Yes my apologies, that's the construction language coming out again, my bad! BTW, that Al is stunning, man it must sound like an angel, crying after stubbing it's toe on heaven's gate!:D

Thats it GWDavis, I'm in love with that color. I think on Youtube I saw Pete Dubaldo (who I've bought Petruccis from in the past) playing one comparing old JPs to the BFRs, but that is it.

Yah that guitar that Pete has that he put a rosewood neck on use to be mine, a very long time ago.
