Hollis, JJ told me last night that he got/or is getting. he said something about "beefing" it up a little with a solid guitar neck and some custom stuff to his specifications.

JJ can get better humbuckers for his sg's and run it through a mesa boogie amp w/ a mesa head and/or marshall head. It would sound 'crunchier'. IMO

I saw a guy gave him one of those at the in-store in Orlando last week (don't think it was that one). I think they are kinda cool and had no idea they'd sound so good. If the sounds coming out of that thing don't say "swamp", nothing does.

JJ must be collecting these cigar box guitars. Remember the one I saw him receive in Jackson, MS (posted on an old thread)?

I was standing in line right behind the guy that gave JJ the Cigar Box guitar at the Park Ave CD's show. And that gee-tar in the video is definitely the one he gave JJ, I really remember the Chrome Dobro Screens. JJ was very gracious and truly awed by this instrument and was speaking with the gentleman about different things that could be done to customize it.
