Got pics? 
A girl who'll whore herself out to support your guitar habit? Not bad... I girl I was kinda dating/screwing around with one for a while who once offered to deal crack to buy me more gutiars, but I think she may have been kidding.

Yeah, but she'd kill me if showed you.
(no, not those kind of pics 
Those are on my computer which is not an internet computer) Yeah, it's cool when chicks understand the gear addiction.
For example, I was a little nervous to tell my girlfriend about when I ordered the 2nd JP7. She just told me, "Well, you got to have a back up one, right?" And she firmly believes in buying the best, quality, tools of the trade.
Hey Drew!
This is weird... I had asked Rusty About that guitar just a short while back. I asked him how much he paid for it and at the time he told me "artist prices". A brand new 9 string from Conklin is like Right around $5000 for a guitar just like that one, and that's the price us "non-artists" pay. If Rusty sells this for $8000, and I don't doubt that he will, he'll be profiting by about $4000-$5000 on it! Enough to buy another one just like it and get his money back!
Nice guitar, but $8000 for something he just bought?? Nah. I'd rather pay 1/4 of that to Michael Dolan and get as good an instrument without any "artist" fingerprints all over it!

You forgot "a reason to drink"
My roommate's been a f'in GODSEND but she thinks more like a guy than I do, so she actually makes sense to me. Besides, I love to cook and she raves about whatever I cook her and then does the cleaning - it's a good relationship. The rest of 'em, however, have me absolutely lost.

Not to ask the obvious,,,but.... has anyone asked Rusty why he's selling it? I've thought about but figured he has probably been asked at least a hundred times. I'm not on a name to name with him,,,but everytime I've ever emailed him with questions he's always replied within 24 hours or so. He seems pretty open and obtainable.
Just a thought....

I have sent the email asking why, and as soon as he responds I'll let all you guys know what he says.

Incredible player, and yes- he does some 7-string stuff.RG7420EMG said:
I first met Tony at Jemfest 2002. He came down and hung out with us, salivating while waiting for the Jemfest Jam, where folks can hop up on stage with the artists and crank out a tune or two. Tony decided he wanted to take on Rusty.
*beep*beep*beep*beep* Hear that? It's the dumptruck backing up to the venue with Tony's balls in it.
He hopped up there, dropped some stuff that had Rusty doing "The Spock eyebrow". They did some fun little headcutting- back and forth for about 5 minutes- while the rest of us watched in shock. Rusty let him hang for a while, then dropped the hammer. I've never seen/heard anything like it. Imagine a Cacophony album at 78rpm.
After that torrent of notes from Rusty, Tony volume'd down and handed the guitar off to the next victim.We were so impressed, we invited him to play the following year. He's been back a few times since, and will be playing in 2005 as well.
As far as the 9-string goes: I haven't spoken with Rusty in a while, but if he's selling it, I'm sure there's a good reason. Unlike *some* artists, Rusty's not out to rape his fans wallets. Next time I speak with him, I'll see if I can get the details.
Oh- and the bolt-on thing: Compare the craftsmanship of a Conklin to your average $500 bolt-on guitar. You'll see why Drew says it's a non-issue.
P.S.- Clapton's "Blackie" (sold for almost $1,000,000) is a bolt-on.

Looks like he relisted it, and a little cheaper too.
I'm low on funds for the moment but damn, I'm half tempted to go get a small loan.

That's about the only time you can have your ass handed to you in a head-cutting contest, and still not look like an idiot.

He responded saying "It's non music related." I'm thinking it has something to do with the whole Ibanez thing, but I could be completely wrong. I'll email him now and tell him that we want to see him shred it up before he sells it.
The Ibanez thing is possible. When he first posted on Jemsite that he got the Ibanez deal, he also said they wouldn't make him an 8, as they didn't do 8's. And then (as my daughter Aoife loves to say) 'lo and behold', Mesh has Ibanez 8's. Maybe Ibanez is doing right by Rusty and making something comparable for him. I'm only thinking out loud, though.

I just got a response from Rusty, and he said this...
"I just sold it. But I probably won't ship it until Monday or Tuesday so
there is a possibility of me making a video over the weekend." Hell yeah.

I saw something about ss.org hosting a video?? If Rusty does one with the nine and doesnt put it up on his site, I told him he can just send it to me. Can you guys host something like that here? Of course I'm running that by Rusty first.*ahem*...Chris...*ahem*
