BTW who here owned the blue neck-thru star with red logo? Please contact me at [email protected]

I will appreciate all help in making the site a good source for information on Chrises guitars.

Thanks!

Very cool site, thanks! Do you have info on Chris' other equipment which he used over the years (amps, pickups) ?
I have some pictures of him with late 70's JMP Mastervolume Marshalls (I think he also uses them in the "Live at the Lyceum" video), but I don't know what he used later on.

Thanks for your kind comments!
The info on Chrises gear is coming up later, but
I can tell that he used a Marshall JMP-1 preamp and Alesis Quadraverb 2 for KFD tour and I beleive he is still using those today. Pickups have always been high output ones - J90, DiMarzio Super Distortion, Duncan Distortion and I just heard that the Headless explorer has a Iommi signature pickup. But I try to add all info to the website asap. The Zebra RR had a Super Distortion when I got it from Chris but there's a different pickup on it in the old Wasp pics.

Re: New Chris Holmes guitarsite up and running!!!

i think the blue neckthru star is owned by Neal @ nealsguitars.com or somthing .

Re: New Chris Holmes guitarsite up and running!!!

I know the blue star at Neals, but I remember reading somewhere that there was another one like it? Is Neals star San Dimas or Ontario? The price is really high but not much choice on neckthru stars and currency rates work for me at the moment.
If someone has a neckthru star and could consider selling please contact me. [img]graemlins/help.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">He had a hardtail Dinky with a reversed (lefty) body , a southern flag graphic and one pickup - he used that one on the Headless Children Tour; I also remember a promo picture where he had a black hardtail Dinky.

And "L" thanks for the mirror link!
Blackie got three Jacksons in 1989: Blue Jean, Rebel flag and Riders logo. The last two were on sale at www.waspnation.com but I don't know if they ever sold.

I'm going to update the website soon with more information. I gotten some interesting emails lately about Chrises guitars so stay tuned.
