Yep! I was noticing that myself.. also the added then removed 2nd string tree hole

You can bet that while many musicians own tons of gear and guitars, nobody's collection is worth as much as his, because it's all his and all original.

Where were these pics from, anyway?

I remember reading about a radio interview he did earlier in the year where he stated that he own about 1500 guitars... Man, thats about 1492 more guitars than I own...

These picutes are from Ross Halfin's site. Ross and Jimmy are apparently best buddies.

He reminds me of a young Mr Miyagi in the top pic.
