LOL I knew I was going to get an entertaining answer!

When one doesn’t know the answer, one makes something up.

My grandpa used to say, “Only lie if it helps you.”

1957/2008 limited. The stars aligned when they made this run. Everyone I know who has one claims it’s their keeper forever.

Here's my Artist V... I think limited to 300 total, only 150 in the US... probably not as limited as these others, but its MINE! LOL

I know you guys have seen this enough recently, but 2004 (run began in 2003) Brazilian Limited Run CU22

What I appreciated about some of these old runs is that they tended to have standout woods, like Peruvian Mahogany for the Artist V and the 57/08 LTD.

Wow, a blue crab blue right? has it faded or still vibrant as ever?

I've only owned it for a couple of weeks. I was expecting it to look like the one in my avatar, and the seller's pics on Reverb matched my avatar (he said he took them about a year ago when he bought it), but when I got it, it's almost a black teal or something... it hasn't faded, but apparently darkened up somehow over the years. Still beautiful, and my most amazing player! I love the Artist V pickups, they sound magical.

The one that got away. I should have never sold it. =(

Pernambuco, slight return.

The Duke of Ornate, the Collection Series III. Pernambuco neck, African Blackwood fingerboard, Espresso smokeburst. A chameleon that changes hue with the lighting.

Very small 2013 run of DGT Artists in Boyd's Burst with rosewood necks and ebony boards. One of the best sounding guitars I own. These two (the DGT Artist with my '97 R4 Oxblood) are going to the gig tonight. That DGT hangs with the LP easily---and that R4 is a beast.

I was extremely lucky, and got to fondle a few "blasts from the past" in October.

The 2 Paul took on that first road trip to drum up sales.

How about a Spruce Top HB Proto with wicked f-holes....

 

[bodia]

A hoard of Dragons, perhaps.

The Faded Blue Jean that you just get a glimpse of in the 2nd pic is the first ME

 

[bodia]

Maybe Santana #001!!!!

Looks like there were a couple of NAMM 20 guitars behind you too - so there's a job for next time Looks like their Royal Blue NAMM 20 one has faded - I think the case sticker says 'badly faded'...

Agree - mega cool Shawn let you loose with all those too. As an aside sometimes special posts like this come along and I think, yeah - that's why I joined the Forum. Thanks Bodia (and Shawn).
