well, i hope you got at least some pics of yourself teaching the gibsonites 
i hope at some point you made a comment like this...
"What you have in your hands is a Gibson... but what i have in mine is a guitar! Sure they look similar but mine is the real deal! Keep practicing and maybe one day you'll be able to play a real guitar... and thank you Gibson for the paycheck i'm sure Big Papa and EBMM will be getting this very soon i hear they're coming out with new BFRs!" LOL

lmao peterd,
I have to be careful, I was contacted today regarding the clinic, and they insist that I teach on a Gibson, I think it's a Les Paul Custom, I forget now, but I said only if I can perform with my guitar as my music requires a tremolo bar, they agreed!
But there's a reason why! I have a photographer and videographer coming to the event, something both Gibson and the shop don't have! They want a copy of the DVD and in particular the photos, providing the photos and clips of me playing the EBMM Luke aren't given to Gibson I will get away with it, but I will of course put the pictures of myself with the Luke on my website and I will certainly post them here for you guys.
My motivation for doing this is out of hope that Big Poppa will see the pictures, I would love to do local clinics on behalf of EBMM because no one pushes for EBMM in the southwest of England, there are never any shows, clinics or anything, and as a result not many Musicman guitars appear to sell down here, I used to do shows for Maverick Guitars when they were a new company, I was 19 at the time, but I managed to sell a shed load of guitars locally for them, even many of my friends bought one, it would be a good to represent a company that I ACTUALLY like, I could be enthusiastic about a product that I really do believe in.

Hi guys, here's the latest updates;
I will be doing a clinic on a monthly basis around the southwest of England! starting in plymouth, and then in Torquay!
Those who book in to come (which is free by the way) get a free Gibson T shirt and a goody bag full of stuff, you will be provided with a Gibson guitar to learn on (not to keep!) and you will be automatically entered into a competition to win a Gibson guitar, and the most important thing of all! it has been confirmed! - I CAN use my EBMM LUKE! I have to talk about why I chose to play a EBMM Luke and why somebody else might prefer to buy a Gibson Les Paul or SG.
The show is saturday 30th Jan, we will be recording it, and taking many photos, I will post some of the photos here :-D

Sequoia gold is STUNNING in person, videos and photos do absolutely no justice to it at all
It is really gorgeous
