My Fusion "Don't Smoke" / pic request

[Brooke]

If you ever feel like getting rid of BIG RED let us know...

Likewise with the Dragon Warrior. I thought I'd already dropped that subtle hint.

I just don't think I can part with the Dragon Warrior:

And same on Big Red:

The first "Don't Smoke" graphic I have seen is Criss Oliva's (RIP) from Savatage. A few years ago, I saw one in a glass case in a bar, it needed saving, but the guy wouldn't part with it.

There's a pic of Criss' on the index of his memorial site, but it's not a great one.

As a first post I thought I'd show off my lovely Fusion.

1990, Ontario, 000095... if anyone's got its brothers (94 or 96), I'd love to see pics! For that matter, are there any others out there with the "Don't Smoke" scheme? I've seen some wild graphics around, but the only other Don't Smoke I came across was, I think, a Soloist on ebay a while back, which looked to have been the work of a different artist, or just a variation.




Well, anyhow nice to be here.

EDIT: Not sure if that pic is showing up... if not, it's HERE.

great pics! can u put up that mother mary with jesus guitar?

Yes, that is my favorite Jackson guitar, an '89 USA Dinky that was originally maroon (FSU) red. When my mother died of breast cancer in January of 2004 we had Holy Cards at her viewing and Funeral Mass. The one that touched me the most was the Virgin Mother and Christ Child. Sort of like my mom, and me. I had Daneen of Custom AirBrush duplicate the Holy Card on the guitar with a memorial to my mom. On the back is a touching "poem" that my dad read at the Mass. She was only 58, way too early. When I showed the finished guitar to my dad he broke down, it is truly a remarkable tribute to a fine lady:

Can we have a pic of the Dragon Warrior in full please?

Charvel750, YOU HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES .

[Vass]

EDIT: Initally took a shit on Woozy because I thought he was slagging Charvel750's tribute to his Mom, but realized he probably was referring to the fact that Charvel750 has a metric shitload of guitars, and in that context I agree- He's got serious issues, but they're good ones.

yeah , i was referring to the huge amount of guitars he owns ! not the tribute guitar, i totally respect that and have nothing against, each one deals with it the best way he can . yeah , but i don't mean issues in a bad way, obviously very fine collection
