Yeah I love Scofield. What's funny is is he actully to me has alot in
common with AH. At times he even sounds a little similar. I have Uncle that used to play with him.

One of my favs also. I was working with some great players in a band named "Threshold". We were a prog-rock band that also did some select covers like "Heart of the Sunrise" and Magnum Opus. It was I'd say 1991 or 1992. His "Ah Via Music tour". I couldn't believe how young Eric looked. He wrote a really cool inscription in a guitar player mag I brought to the gig. When we showed up at sound check one of the guys in my band said do "Emerald Eyes" and they did it. Too cool. Eric was very cool and even came out and watched us play a few of our tunes.
I loved his rig.
I remember asking him about "Shawn Lane" and he had nothing but admiration for him.

I've been a fan of Scotts since his Ponty days. I saw him at The Beverly Theater when he was playing with Jeff Berlins band "Vox Humana". Great band. They opened for the Steve Morse Band.

I know Adam Rogers has been playing with Brad Meldau. Adam is a more straight ahead jazzer but he takes it to new places. He's a phonomenal player.

I know there not worth as much but I love the 3bolts. that exagerated 70's headstock too. I am a child of the 70s so... surprise.
pre cbs would be nice for a collection tho... and retirement nestegg.
Yeah they were known for mistreating strats. I always liked V necks. I wish I would've bought back then. Would be worth many times the original investment.
Cheers,
