Ernie,

Nice collection. Is that basically one of every different JP released?

There are a few production finishes that I am missing. Las Vegas Gold, Gunsmoke, Red Sparkle, Midnight Blue Sparkle, all discontinued.

Out of the finishes still available, I am missing Solid Black, Walnut Burst and Ruby Burst BFR's.

Which one is your favorite? Ya know...the one you would run into a burning building and save if you only have time to pick up just one?

Black Fire proto, can't replace that even if I hit the lotto.

If you wanna go by pure finish, Gremlin Green Sparkle is my favorite.

That is an awesome collection. Good luck with chasing down the missing ones.

If I was wearing a hat I'd take it off to you.

Didn't I read a few posts up that you may be fixing that problem in regards to at least ONE of those BFRs?

One of these days when you have the time, I'd be interested in seeing the vault where you store all of these things.:D It's probably bigger than most music stores!

Still...I'm in total AWE of that collection. Very impressive.

You'd be my hero if you scored a gunsmoke. There aren't enough good pics of that kind. Same with midnight blue/red sparkle.

There was a stripped Gunsmoke 7 on eBay in Great Britian about 2 years ago that I let slip by, big mistake.

I only know of one Red Sparkle made, it was on an old inventory list at some music shop in PA.

I have never seen a Pet in Midnight Blue Sparkle or Las Vegas Gold.

I have no doubt that if and when one of those show up on eBay, it's a done deal. They'll be going home to Ernie...

Congrats Ernie, that is one impressive collection.

Ernie,

If you had time it would be great to see headstock pictures - especially of the matching sparkles.
