1,000th post. All my Pets. Lot's o' pics!

You gotta realize that if this guy works for Citigroup in any real capacity, he has seen his matching retirement account dwindle over the last year. Citigroup has gone from the mid 50's to the low 30's in the last year. Plus, there has been talks of major layoffs. He should thank goodness that C got a 7.5 billion dollar injection of capital from Dubai, it actually might save his ass from the chopping block.

I got some advice for him, buy low, sell high.

Ok Ernie - how about this this.

I was shocked when I first saw how many JP guitars you owned and posted in that mindset. Since then while trying to make my point valid, I have maintained a defense stance.

It seems that you clearly have enough money to afford all of them - and more - and obviously you have every choice to do this.

You also stated that you choose to donate money - which doesn't mean that everyone has to do that, but kudos for doing so.

So let me apologize for all my comments in relation to that -and again I appreciate your candidness along the way.

I will be honest and say that I still don't see why you need so many, but really it's your collection so...c'est le vie.

In addition, many of the guitars you have are fine examples of EBMM craftsmanship and having now owned my first for the weekend, I can appreciate the design so much more.

I hope to one day be able to afford to get a six to offset the seven, then i'll be all set.

So whats say I draw a line and would anyone like to see pictures of my JP7?

P.S. Luckily I am not heavily invested in Citi, but thanks for the tip

David Leeding....Are you sure that you are a guitarist? That made too much sense...Sam has ben banned. case closed.

Sorry ... ... it was a momentary lapse into reasoning...I'll try not to let it happen again.

Well, I'm a little late to this little thread-fest, but after reading all 14 pages worth I just gotta say...

Damn Ernie, them's some SWEET JPs! Rock on, and what a cool 1000th post!

Sure, un-ban him.

Maybe some of our "class" will rub off on him.

Okay, I am going to make it somewhat easier for you to post, Sam I Am, but let us leave behind the idea that it is somehow politically incorrect or bad for the human collective to own however many guitars/basses/marimbas.

 

[Big Poppa]

Sam Ill give you one thing...EVerybody knows you quickly! A little hint...Maybe live in the apartment for awhile before you move the furniture around....

Ernie,

I was thinking - two JP finishes that would be a great addition to your collection (if they were ever made??):

1 - The Purple Sunset burst used on the Y2D models.
2 - The Picasso design on JP's Ibanez guitars.

BP - I remember from a Dream Theater DVD commentary that JM suggested JP should get an EBMM with the Picasso graphic. Has JP ever inquired about doing this?
It would have been a great treat if he would have done so and then bought it out for the Score show.

Sam,
Check this out EBMM JP Picasso (Revived) - John Petrucci Forums

 

[Dead-Eye]

I believe it was said that Ibanez owns the Picasso design

 

[Multiversal]

Damn.. those picassos look sharp!

Keith,

Do you really think I didn't let Ernie know already?

There is still one up for grabs - ships from EB tomorrow...

we have never discussed any graphics on the guitars.
