The purple was sold off with the rest of them.He sold his strathead jacksons, some of his esp's(azsk toru about them, our friend keisuke ended up with some of them) and his charvies, kept the fender and some of the esp's.Mine was traded back in at sunset custom, which was esp's headquaters back then.

The guy who runs the site had the daphne blue once incorectly put as white til i emailed hinm to let hime know it was blue.He thought it was just reflections from the lights.I know there are pics of it, but he couldnt find any.I sometimes wonder if the blue one was so light in color that we just assumed it was white all these years?

Re: Jake E lee Charvel Guitars

Actually I own the Natural Jackson, and owned the gold sparkle as well, which went to Jack Frost and then out to the west coast and ended up with Neil.

The gold one had a great neck, but it was god awful ugly.

Davey I have a few scanned pics of the blue one from a few different mags..you are right, it was pretty light blue and under certain lighting was very light in color. It had the v-trem though opposed to the hardtail on the other white one..IIRC.

Ralph you are da man...bummer I came late on the scene and missed yours and Larrys collections (sites). How did those Jake guitars play..man you had some real nice ones... Actually Ralph, there was a guy in San Diego looking to sell your old Black Holdsworth Charvel (one with crack in the back) just awhile back.

Re: Jake E lee Charvel Guitars

If I remember right, that was #3725. Nice guitar, fat neck tho (as usual with the holdsworth's). Was supposedly owned by Rowan Robertson of Dio at some point.

Took forever to sell it for $900 bucks (maybe $1k).

Re: Jake E lee Charvel Guitars

Ralph is being modest. The natural Jake that he owns is the best playing C/J I have played. The stars and planets must have been aligned when they put that thing together.

Re: Jake E lee Charvel Guitars

Re: Jake E lee Charvel Guitars

Sorry Tracy, mixed up the white/magenta flame one, I had that at one point too. That was also a great guitar.
