guitar NOT for sale

[John]

just found out today that my B.C. Rich warlock painted by Don Leaming back in 1983 may be worth a TON of money!! although i would never sell it, it's incredible knowing that it's worth something! this is one of only 3 guitars that he hand painted under the name Don Leaming. the rest were all under screaming leaming. i found all this out from don himself today. so i will be on my way to L.A. to meet him and get a certificate of authentication on it. probably in january. wow, i'm sh*tting a brick right now!

here's a pic of it. i'll have more tomorrow.

Cool guitar brother! And no, don´t sell it unless you´re in serius economy problems. That one is a great collector´s piece

B.C. Rich guitars usually look and sound great This one is a good example - as far as look goes. Can't say anything about its sound but it must be great

i sent him a bunch of pics of it yesterday showing his signature and all. he had found one other one, and wanted to compare mine to the other one that he'd found. they are similar but the face on the guy is very different. the other one is older, but mine is in much better shape. he's trying to find the 3rd one now. he says "if my failing memory is correct and there is 3. there might only be 2". so i played it last night just to have fun with it. i may take it to the bank now and put it away there for safe keeping. my luck my d**ned house would burn down and it'd be gone forever. hahaha

[John]

yes, i'll try to post them to the pinnacle site tonight. it's a friggin work of art.

thanks man! i love this guitar. it fits me like a glove. you can hear it on the solo of 'Feasting On Meat" and one of the solo's on the SBFIS album, but i can't remember what song it was.

haven't heard anything from don in the last 3 days maybe i need to email him again and see what his thoughts are. he never did tell me where he lives. now i think he lives in oregon which is very far away but when delaney and i go to san fransisco in april to see Accept, that will be about 1/2 way. i might try to meet up with him then. i just don't know! i need to get it authenticated by him.

[John]

so he remembers it now. this is one of three with that design and one of the only three he ever signed as "don leaming" and also, the only one done in 1983. i'll be putting in my bank security locker. fireproof and burglar proof and most importantly, insured!!! i can't believe the dumb luck of me getting this thing!

You lucky bastard!! or how do you say? ;D

[John]

hahahahaha yep, that's how you say it! and yes, for once, i'm the lucky bastard!!
