THey were made for an anniversary of Spinal Tap and Chris Guest (Nigel) Very kindly offered all proceeds to go to the Casey Lee Ball Foundation. Brad Pitt has one!
THey sold originally for 5 thousand.

It is not one pickup just looks like it.

Dear Mr. Ball I had no idea what the Casey Lee Ball Foundation was, so to avoid being indiscreet I didn't ask, and instead I have goggled it and found out, all I can say is BIG RESPECT to you, your son and the Foundation. I am a father of a child with cerebral palsy and I know the struggles involved, so my deepest warmest feelings are with you and your family. Bless you.

DaveB had his at the first Open House. What a great guitar! I had so much fun playing it. Dave was super cool in just letting us play it and take pics with it. Mr. Horsepower was definitely one of the celebrities there as well! Pops talked about it and all the other guitars and basses at the Open House.

Casey, I believe, got the first one and it was stolen. I am still on the hunt for it.....:mad:

Koogie, your the best man. I agree DaveB was awesome letting us drool around the Mr. HP. And the Open House was the time of my life man, met a ton of very cool people that I like to think as friends, including you man, we had an awesome time man and wee probably still owe Keith for the ride to and from the airport man, hahahahaha.

Any leads on Casey's?

IIRC mine is number 9 (will check when I get to the shop tomorrow)

Anyone know where it originated from?

P.S. Just back from seeing Spinal Tap at Wembley (Wimbledon!) - awesome!

I met the guy who had 3 at the first open house - he was well p*ssed off because mine was a single digit and all of his were in the teens.....

Man if you own three........

As for the previous request for ALOC owners club pics then give me a shout.

I gigged mine at a charity do a few years ago - brought it out for Zep's Rock and Roll at the encore - best way to get an audience to drop their jaws!
