Sorry if nobody was aware of the blackie replica in may. There were long 
talks about it in the fender forums website in may and june. If I knew, 
I would have inform you about that it was not the real blackie.

Considering its sound, from the boot I've have of this show, I can't 
hear a huge difference between the parts played with the blackie replica 
prototype and the parts played with the regular EC custom shop signature 
strat.

Now I need a little help from the slowhanders that live in the UK. Would 
one of you buy and send for me an issue of the UK Guitarist magazine 
that have an article about the Blackie Replica ? Send me an email so we 
can discuss what you'd like in exchange : financial compensation, 
bootlegs or whatever...

Thanks,
Eric
