thats such a shame tho. i saw tho on tvjones' facebook page that theyre working on the t-armond pickups in filtertron form right now! thatll save me some sleep when switching

I only know one person that was at that show, and he sent me photo's of him with Mr. Jones. Webby, is there something you should be telling us??? Just jokes for anyone who didn't get it.

No seriously Webby, anything to add??

No, I don't really have something to add. Tom was pretty cool on the Fair, he seemed very proud of the new guitar models and the new pickups he was introducing. On one of the guitars there was already a "Sold" sticker if I remember correctly, but I'm not sure if that's one of teh guitars that are missing now. Can't really imagine how that stuff could have been stolen. They had very strict controls at the exits, and everything that only looked a little bit like an instrument has been checked very carefully. I'm actually pretty sure, that it was impossible to get out of the halls with a guitar, must have happened after it was closed.
