There was a pic of a wall full of one offs/ protos/ etc...

JP w/ Emgs...diagonally to the right of it there was an interesting 3+3 headstocked (non traditional EBMM shaped) beast with some quasi trapezoidal inlays...

...this piece have anything to do with the Gene Baker collab? Looks like a deadringer for a Baker design...

thanks!

The JPS with EMgs wasnt a jp it was the originalo Lukie Proto....the three on three headstock was a proto that I did for Ray Scherr the guy who sold Guitar Center...He wanted to get in the business after he sold GC and we decided that it wouldnt work...

BP, I think the OC is talking about this pic, which is def a JP w/ EMGs (per the forearm contour & 24 frets)

Ha! I knew someting was up with the Pet with the EMG's. It had a serial # in the 8000's. I know, I know serial #'s don't always denote built dates, but in this case we have a winner.

actually that is just a jp proto with the emgs.....The luke proto was on the same wall

Also Gene Baker had nothing to do with anything shown at the show.... we dont have anything from gene because he didnt ever getting around to designing anything
