Ibanez IC1000BK PS 10 Limited Reissue 20th Anniversary Iceman

I guess if you Googled Ibanez IC1000BK PS 10 Limited Reissue 20th Anniversary Iceman, you're one of the 210 owners to have one of these in your home. THEY ARE RARE!!! The first thing people notice about mine is the addition of Paul Stanley's autograph on the front (originally came autographed on the back control plate) and the KISS Paul Stanley guitar picks affixed to the side with double sided tape. Here's my story... KISS came to town and I scored two backstage passes. I met with one of the road crew and showed him my guitar. I remember him saying "Oh, wow! This is a REAL one" I told him the story about how I bought it brand new and that it was my pride and joy. I also told him that since I played it, the autograph on the back of the guitar has come off a bit. He said "No problem, I'll have Paul hook it up". So I gave the dude (I know his full name) my Iceman and went backstage with my son. After the show, my son and I went to the managers office and there was my Iceman with Paul's signature and 15 of Paul's guitar picks affixed down the side (just like his) with double sided tape. One of the ladies in the office must have seen me staring because she said "Now he doesn't usually do that!!!" The guitar is sitting in my living room untouched since that day. I often want to play it because it REALLY sounds great!!! I'm afraid I'll ruin the picks and the autograph, though.
