So, no worries, he still has more than enough guitars :thumbsup That new Pensa looks lovely.

Don't like it.  A bit of a messy design around the bridge I think.

Well, It's a different shade of blue, it has a Bigsby tremolo and it is semi-hollow ,so it will probably sound a bit different. ;D
Also note the guitar cases on the floor in that photo.

the National Tricone was sold ?

When was it last seen?

I think during the last record sessions, unless Richard Bennett has one and it's his one in the pictures.

I remember RB had a square necked national that he used on All That Matters.

The Jizzblaster (or is that the same as the Donegan's Gone guitar?).

Yes

The Jizzblaster was put together by an American looney for luthier.  ;D

There were also at least two other red Schecters, one was a red backup that Hal used, it retained the original black pickups. The other had a rosewood fretboard and matching red headstock (it's in one of the Infidels videos). He may have leant them out or given them away though. The sunburst one had been in the hands of a friend of his for years before he recalled it for the Crossroads auction.

Is there any real evidence that he actually owned the “Jizzblaster”?

By the way, the Boom Like That Silvertone that was sold at auction had been modified before it was sold. The tremolo was replaced with a modern bridge.

What about his Signature red Strats? Does he still owns a couple?

Didn't he have the first two or three made? SE00000 & SE00001??
