This is from my Rock U concert, at Crown Center in Kansas City, last August. For the last song in our set, Hotel California, I played the Ric 360/12. I also played my Gretsch Country Classic, so as we walked off stage, someone asked us, "How many Beatle guitars do you have?"

And how old are you, like 14? All I had was a Danelectro I bought for $75 when I was your age. Oh, to be young and have parents with money.

Don't be bitter :wink: How many 14-year-olds even know what a Beatle guitar is ? You should celebrate this young man, daily.

I got this when I was 17. It is nice to play quality instruments when young as ****** guitars can discourage a lad from playing it. :(

Hey Jeff - is your 4005WB JG featured in a 2008 vintage guitar calendar? I was at the mall the other day, and while my fiancee was looking at shoes or something I went poking through the calendar stand and spotted a photo very similar (indentical?) to the one you just posted.

That would be news to me. Can you get more info on that as there may well in fact be a copyright violation there. :evil:

Jeff - I'll try. I spotted that calendar when I was back home in London, Ontario last week. Given the scarcity of '60s jetglo 4005WBs I thought there was a reasonable chance that it was yours. As for the photo, IIRC it was very similar to the one you posted, but I sure hope I didn't elicit the evil-or-very-mad emoticon for nothing. Perhaps someone else here has seen the same calendar. In the meantime I'll keep my eyes peeled :shock:

Ha! Found it. The photo is similar but not identical:

Thanks!

AFAIK, the only other Jetglo 4005WB is in a japanese collection, at least, that is the only other one I am aware of.
