Love it. Do you still have the yellow special?

Might need to start looking for one of these to add to the collection ;)

LOL! Yes, I still have the Special, but no, I won't be looking for whatever that is! Is that a Zakk Wylde LP?

Yep! I had one once, played quite nicely albeit it was more cream than yellow at the time.
