Nice Frank,

Wondering when you were going to get it, figured you got that one since only three were available, and Lou got the Cherryburst, someone else got the black sparkle looking one and as BP said someone from NC got the other:p

Super cool guitar congrats:cool:

2) why was it addressed to elliot spitzer? are you elliot spitzer?
3) i'm a local, check your PM... i need to validate this actually exists

Ha Ha #2 - Never thought of that possibility before I made my post ;) :p

Frank, what an awesome guitar! Congrats. I smile every time a good guitar like this stays in the family of knuckleheads.

Ok, another long winded story:

On November 20 on my way down to my daughters Cheer competition in Hartford Connecticut, I got a phone call from Frank asking me if I had seen the 3 guitars that were being offered @ the JP/BP GC Session in Boston, (Frank and I chat, but I had a meeting and was offline all day). I told him I had and they all looked excellent. We talked about the Black Magic Crystal and we were both curious how sparkley it really was and how sick the neck looked. And we chatted about the Spalter top. I said that if anyone bought one of these that they'd be very lucky as they are all excellent 1 off's (I hope I'm correct and I hope they stay that way). So, Saturday the 21, the day of the Boston Sessions my youngest daughter and I were walking back to pack up the hotel room and my cell rang. It was Frank, "Hey man, I bought that Spalter Top JP!!!". Told him that was excellent and I'm sure he wouldn't be disappointed at all. Then Frank proceeds to tell me that, he got VIP seating to the Boston Sessions and that he told Larry the GC Platnium Room guy to put my and my wifes names on the VIP passes, I was floored to say the least. A little background, I first met Frank at the EBMM Open House in 2005, hung out with him @ Jack's 50th Bday Bash in Dallas and again at the Desert Bash in Coachella.

Ok, back on track. After the GC Session was over and JP was heading down stairs to do some sign of stuff for people, BP pulled all of the KnuckleHeads over to the side, we chatted about Lou's JP until BP had to go join JP for the signing. I got an idea, I called Frank:

"Hey Frank, with your VIP passes, we get to cut to the front of the line, you want me to get JP to sign the guitar for you??" Frank, was all over that and asked to have him sign the back plate. He then asked if JP had played it during the Session, I said no unfortunately, Frank a bit bummed out, but understood. I said I know man, I'll ask JP to play it for you, Frank was like you will, I'm like sure man.

So, we headed down stairs, I asked Larry where Franks guitar was and he showed it to me, this thing is AWESOME!!!!

Then my wife Wendy reminds me of the story she told @ the Desert Bash about me opening up her Black and Red Axis and playing it before she did, I never understood and still don't, but it's cool. So I thought, hey Frank, not only was I the first to play your guitar man . . . . . . .

Hahahahahahaha, little inside joke when he called me to say he bought the guitar, he asked if I'd check it out, I said sure man, I'll even lick it for you, hahahahahahahaha.

So here are the pictures of JP signing and a video of him playing it.
