It's on Ebay right now.
I have to say, I like the finish.
I also have to say, the prices on these things are out of hand.
But hey, with this one you get a photo of Steve Stevens!

Is he one of the best guitarists around? I think the only thing I might have heard him on is if he played on white wedding?

The guitar playing on those early Billy Idol records is shit-hot.
Please keep in mind, I was quite literally a baby when that shit came out, so I don't know how some of y'all older folks feel about him. I'm just going off of the vinyl here.

Why did you quit your band? They're pretty good.

In this forum? Stevens by a mile...
Not many people here seem to admire Albini's work. Maybe that German dude, but that's it.

I like the bridge to "Eyes Without A Face." The solo is pretty cool, too.
I don't like it enough to go spend $2200+ on a guitar that was once owned by the dude that played said bridge and solo.
EDIT: Jesus, that video is fucking ridiculous.

The music itself was great. I loved playing it. Unfortunately, as I'm sure you're aware, there are a lot of other bullshit trappings involved with playing in bands in general, and that band in particular. I'm not interested in sullying the name of someone I don't currently talk to, but still consider a friend. That said, he also browses this forum from time to time.
Back on topic: I don't ever remember ever seeing photos or video of Stevens playing a Bean, do you?

I think Steve Stevens played/endorsed Hamer guitars, and I remember him "playing" one of those goofy Roland guitar synths in the video for "Flesh for Fantasy".
