Title: Hi there from Italy !!!
Post by: Antonius on June 02, 2009, 04:34:16 PM
Ciao a tutti !!!
Hi to everyone,I'm a new member from Italy (italian-canadian) and I have been collecting only ARAH joe's for a year!
After 25 years thanks to ebay I have achieved the passion of collecting joe's all around the world,unfortunately they are very difficult to find here in Italy (maybe because no one knows what GI JOE is)!
I remember in the early 80's I only had a few Joe's:recondo,roadblock,torpedo,gung-ho,rock'n roll...... bought from the opening of Toys'r'us,guest star Mr T !!!
I have not completed my collection,and hope to do so in the next few years!
I'll post some pics of my Joe's in the next days!

Hey there! Welcome to Joe Canuck.

What's up with the guitar? The way the one neck is set looks like it's a lefty and the other two are for a right handed player. I know it's not Joe related but I'm interested in the background of it.

Hi Morgardee,
This guitar was realized under the supervision of the greatest electric guitar player of our time "STEVE VAI".
The first neck on the left is a 12 string used for arpeggio,the middle neck is a 6 string most used for solos,the third neck is a 6 string with a fixed bridge used for arpeggio and rythem.
You are right,it has very little to do with Joe but besides collecting Joe's,I am a passionate guitar player "AOR"(adult oriented rock).
