Rainforest - saw one yesterday

I was at a local vintage guitar shop yesterday and saw a Rainforest up close and personal, it was signed by Joe boldly on the front by the arm rest. It was just amazing, but the price, I'd have to sell a car as they were asking $9,995.00.

Besides the Rainforest, they had a few minty older JEMs, priced right, a GMC for $2,500 , alot of vintage Strats and Les Pauls and amps. It is a real nice place to "browse".

The owner was cool and really talkative. So when I want to drool, I know where to go.

That rejected prototype Forest is old news, by now most everybody knows where it is.

Hi Rich. How come it was rejected? And how many were actually made?

Best regards.

The "design" is a prototype, painted by Pedro Cruz. Joe didn't like it.

Well I guess now that explains that "Toys in the Attic" advert, I see all the time in every single issue of Vintage Guitar! Perpetual members of the Ad...Rainforest and a GMC.

Wow... I love the painted pickups, but I don't like those knobs... Definitely not worth $10k I don't think, though.. For me to pay $3000 would be a huge stretch.

I absolutely disagree. There's nothing *washed out* looking about a production forest, and Joe isn't into photorealism and that's what this proto is. Joe is into the abstrct which is what a forest Carol painted is.
