There were some "Lovers in Japan" butterflies neatly folded and inserted into the guitar.

I can't tell you how cool this guitar is - it's unbelievable...

And it has a nameplate on the back ("BLACKY")!

Jason

Viva La Jason!

It's so awesome, thanks so much for sharing the pictures AND THE NAME.

I'd love to see more pics once you have the display case. Congratulations!

Thanks for posting pics Jason but more importantly, thanks for your emails.. The info has been extremely helpful!

Between you and the goddess, Debs Wild, I'm slowly but surely sorting through this crap... Trust me, US customs will not deter me from getting my jacket & guitar!

Mig-El · 08-05-2010, 05:37 PM

oh my god
that is unbelievable

Arantza · 08-05-2010, 05:43 PM

Wow, beautiful guitar!
It's very nice! Congrats!

It looks absolutely amazing! That damn Matt needs to stop with all the wiping off of the DNA and stuff. R#42 said those butterflies made it into everything and he wasn't joking.
Where's the pic of your COA?

Hey Angie, I'll post a pic of the COA later tonight, and some better photos - I just had wall to wall busy from morning till night last night, and shot some quick photos as I opened up the massive bubblewrap package...

Thanks so much to all for the comments! I'll also take a pic of the nameplate on the back - it's so cool and endearing!

Jason

Amanda, I have faith you will sort it out and soon get your stuff - just sorry it has played out like this... it will make it that much sweeter once your pieces finally get to you...
