Re: 9-1953

Oh my, that is nice!

Anyone know where it came from?

On a side note but related...anyone hear the rumours of "Greeny"'s new owner?

I don't think it is rumor. Kirk Hammett bought it and it was on the internet so it must be true. smile

Re: 9-1953

After todays show in Belgium Joe has a few weeks off before resuming the fall tour in Texas, so hopefully he can chime in with some information about his new beauty. Inquiring minds want to know....

Ha!  I also saw a picture of him with it in Guitar and Bass.


A little history on Joe's NGD would be nice.
