So are there at least two of that same model? I did not realize that Ron must have lost the first one. And if so - where does that first one reside now?
Does the current one have all those cool ingravings, like scribblings on the plate?

July 1985
9th: Recording stops. Johnny has a Fender Gibson, a semi-hollow Gretch, a 12-string Gibson 335, a Telecaster and a Les Paul Jnr., but insists he can't record without the special guitar made by James Trussart in Paris; Chief and the band all back him up. I offer to hire any guitar in London, but they insist. I try to call James, but eventually only get an assistant who says he'll be in the shop later. I decide to go to Paris and pick it up, I should be back by late afternoon. Later, at the 'Guitar Station' shop in Rue Dupere, Paris 9, James isn't there, no-one knows where he is. Outside, I bump into Henri-Paul who offers to put me up. That night he takes me to the Gibus Club, which seems to be a shrine to Johnny, with pictures and posters of him everywhere.
10th: Back at the shop, they now think James has gone to the country to see his kids, and they can't contact him. After frantic hassling and pleading, they might be able to contact someone who might be able to contact James. I pass some time sightseeing with Henri-Paul, go to the Gibus Club again but the novelty is wearing off, even the same band is on. Henri-Paul has been speeding all weekend, I last saw him when the club closed at 3.00 am - they don't seem to notice him crashed out in a corner.
11th: I've got hold of James and get the guitar. Rush back to London, and recording resumes. Predictably, the guitar is hardly used.

The Tony Jr. Zemaitis is the one I mean concerning the Miss You video. Zemaitis also made one like this for George Harrison.

For those who are not familiar with the story how Tony Zemaitis and Ronnie met for the first time I'd like to share what Tony himself wrote back in 1996
in our Z GAZETTE published by the ZEMAITIS GUITARS OWNERS CLUB:

Sorry, but I can't find the photo I was thinking of.
Though I think you already knew that pic as it was on a well known dealer's website.
You know the one who always has a lot of vintage Z guitars listed on his site.
