hey joe, first of all ; I love youre music... but here`s the thing ; I don`t know excactly when ,must have been over a year ago, but I remember you posting a message about youre beloved chromeboy missing,or stolen... and if anyone knew where it is to contact you... well, offcourse I can not be sure but if that particular guitar has the serial number 395, I may have found it on a dutch internet- market named "marktplaats.nl".. some guy is selling it at about 2.500 euro`s. I can`t afford to buy it,but I would have, if only to give it back to you..

I hope you have the time to read this message soon.. before some one with a better filled wallet buy`s it ,then it it could be lost forever..

greetings and please go on doing what you do so well,

stephan, near nijmegen,holland.

my god!!! it has finaly happend!! after 2 years of sweating and saving my money, of living in relative poverty.....of not going out with my friends due to me not wanting to spend any cash on anything useless, I finaly did it ; I am now the proud owner of brand-new Ibanez jem 7white!!! ( sorry joe, nothing personal) since the first time I layed eyes on this beauty (must be at least 12 years ago) I knew I would own it someday........ so hallelujah...the day has come..... the purchase of this sweety will be the last one (or maybe not)for it ads the finishing touch to my collection... of course I have youre signature model ,Joe ;don`t be ridicoulous....over the years I`ve managed to obtain 2 of them beauty`s...

before that, I used to ( try to) play on a jackson,a hammer, and a pair of squier`s ; the first 2 were virtualy unplayable to me...they just didn`t feel right. and those squier`s?....what was I thinking?..... you of all people should know how boring a guitar can become if youre not able to use a floid-rose bridge,(or similar) and make that axe scream!!!

by the way Joe,

thank you for all the beautifull music you have given to us all

and to quote my girlfriend who has been my girl for 12 wonderfull years;" Joe satriani is 1 of the only 2 men on the planet ,who needs nothing but his guitar ,to make me cry.........."

you`ve guessed it ; the other one is me...
