Welcome to the Pinkburst Collection of Guitars and Amplifiers<strong>Skinner</strong> is proud to collaborate with Jay Jay French of Twisted Sister to bring the Pinkburst Collectionof guitars and amplifiers to auction. The Pinkburst Project was created to raise awareness about uveitis,a rare, but serious disease that is the leading cause of blindness among American girls.Inspired by his daughter Samantha’s fight against uveitis, and his iconic “pink sunburst” Les Paul guitar,Jay Jay brought some of the world’s most important manufacturers of guitars and amplifiers together tocreate this one-of-a-kind collection.Highlights include custom-made guitars with unique tone, playability, and design from Gibson, Fender,Paul Reed Smith, Epiphone, Gretsch, Ruokangas, and Martin, and custom amplifiers from Marshall,Fender, Vox, Mesa, Orange, Hartke, and Diamond. Usually highly competitive, the world’s top makersput aside their differences in order to support this worthy cause, creating these fabulous instrumentswith the Pinkburst design.“The first of the Pinkbursts is actually a Gibson Custom Shop re-creation of theoriginal 1978 Les Paul that I had painted Pinkburst. It weighed nearly 10 1/2 pounds.When Twisted Sister re-united, I didn’t want to carry that kind of weight so I had theCustom Shop make a copy of the original one. I played this Custom Shop onefor several world tours over the last 5 years. My name appears in pearl inlay justas it did on the original Pinkburst. Finally, this guitar was shipped around tomost of the other manufacturers involved with the Pinkburst Project so that therespective custom shops could make sure that the guitar finishes matched.”-- Jay Jay FrenchProceeds from the sale of the collection will benefit the Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Foundation.www.uveitis.orgPinkburst Photography: John Peden6
