Look man,,,,,,,,,,,,Here's Ben pretty much saying that there "IS" a special "Anniversary Edition" gonna be available.

Seems a selected few are privy to the info.

I hate to be blunt, but what the hell??

I apologize,, Im sorry,, but Damn!

So...

Is there an anticipated time that the actual Anniversary Editions should be announced?

At the 75th Anniversary Confluence in OC?

Or on the official website?

When can we expect an official announcement?

Whoa Scott, I never said anything about the special edition guitar except that I wished it was a Lightshow model.

Oh, you mean the "important" Ben... :P

Again, I just want an authorized dealer standing within arm's length of me when it (they) are announced! Any coming to the 75th?

In my mind there is no "Aniversary Edition" as to me that implies a new model. To be more precise, I would call it "Anniversary Decor".

As far as announcing it, I'll do it when the time is right.

And the "clues" continue to trickle in...sort of like...Chinese Water Torture. Since I find this all so much fun, my wife is sure something is wrong with me.

'Decor' sounds good to me....

There's been a lot of fishin' going on but nobody's caught the big one. I guess we'll get a line on the reel thing when JH decides to release the catch - straight from the fish's mouth as it were.

One thing's for sure.... they will all be eel-electric models! Image

Erik: What tidy sum can we expect to shell out for a current model?
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

What time could be more right than seeing Roger McGuinn walk out with an Anniversary "decored" on Friday night of the confluence in OC?!?

Wouldn't that be cool?

He could bust into the Ballad of Metallicjetglo Rider.
