Well, long awaited good news. It was arranged for us to meet Joe recently before an performance at the incredible Fox Theatre in Atlanta. He was immediately distracted by the appearance of the case, leaning over to peek at it while signing an autograph nearby. The old case still had the lime green tape typical of his touring gear. Before opening the case Joe accurately predicted that it was a '73 - '74. He smiled and shouted in surprise to see the guitar with a photo of him performing with it. "Wow, it's one of mine!" He held it up for the large group to see, and explained to everyone that we'd brought one of his guitars back to him, something "you don't see every day." He shared some details about it, he particularly liked the weight and tone it has, and he had it refretted while he owned it. He apologized but didn't sign it. He was really cool about it, signed the performance photo as he explained why he doesn't certify older guitars. Basically, Joe feels a disproportionate value is introduced when artists associate themselves with vintage instruments, and gave an example. I will leave it to you guys to debate that. As for me, I am happy to grow old playing this wonderful guitar. It may not be bonafide by your definition, but in my world, it's BONAfide! A personal connection to the greatest guitarist I have ever known? Priceless. As the username implies, Love my LPC.

Congrats so happy for you. I know how you feel I am lucky to own Joe's 83 Explorer that is the mate to the Flying V he used on the RAH DVD. For me it is priceless.
Congrats again
cheers Ron

Hi Ron
Is it the korina explorer he shows in the video i linked earlier in the tread you now own?

You cant compare Jimmy Page with God. I mean he's cool and all, but he's no Jimmy Page!!
