What have you wanted to ask us about the pin guitars but were afraid to ask? And first off, why are you afraid to ask about enamel guitar pins? Nothing scary about those. 

WHY ARE THEY LIMITED TO 2 PER CUSTOMER?

We've heard the complaints about flippers, but we also hear the stories about wanting one to display and one to wear, or the stories from our international friends, wanting to get one for themselves and one for a friend to save on shipping. 

WILL YOU REISSUE PINKY?

Probably not, we had no idea when we launched this pin that it would be so sought after. Wouldn't be fair to the collectors to just print more to just sell more. 

ARE THERE GOING TO BE MORE RELEASES?

As long as Mark keeps making new bass guitars we'll try and keep up. 

I WISH YOU WOULD MAKE...

Now this is a tough one, we've covered almost all of the important ones, now looking back at all the guitars he's had over the years there's plenty we could do, but just because we can doesn't mean we should.
