Re: FREE BB King Tickets - Chicago 3 October

You know a funny story from Friday...someone handed BB a pickguard for him to sign. He looked at it and said "That's not a Gibson, that's from an Epiphone."  He just put it in his pocket and never gave it back.

Oh man - you could get close enough to get a pickguard signed?!  Now I'm crapping my drawers!

I have dozens of artist-model signed guitars (including five by our esteemed host here smile )

Funny he never gave it back - awesome story. smile

Yes, they let us right up to the stage. It was a very personal experience with a legend.

I have only one pickguard signed. It's by joe and the original to my jblp
