No, but of you buy it, I'm coming round for a cup of tea.

Love it.  Up there with the Framus version.

I've found one in the States... http://cgi.ebay.com/Epiphone-Lmt-Ed-Riviera-Custom-P93-Electric-Guitar_W0QQitemZ200448137638QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item2eaba3d9a6#ht_672wt_1165 

However, the fretboard wood looks very light.  The is another on ebay in the States with a broken headstock - maybe one of the damaged stock that leerocker was referring to ???

WOO!

I was GAS-less, and then you post that picture.

It's the right colour for an Andrew (I even don't mind the gold hardware), I'm getting into using a trem, I want a semi one day, oh sheeeet...

And then the subsequent posts imply there may be issues/problems in getting hold of one...

PHEW!!! :lol:

Oh cr@p! Just did a quick search ... £369 if you can lay your hands on one in UK.

Right, I'm logging out, now, I'm going to do some work and not start up my browser again today, honest..

:lol:
