Saw on the dunlop site that Jon uses the MXR dime Distortion. I have never heard him endorse it or seen it in his video interviews or lessons but thought i would put that out there for yall.

B) Jon not only uses a black and natural ESP signature which are available for purchase but recently seen and not yet for sale (but hopefuly will be) is his ESP in white! Check the new video Still I Rise and him demoing the Rivera amp for a look at this sexy white guitar.

The new Donais Signature is not a face eraser. Due to legal issues not only with the residing shape and flame maple top jon had the switch changed as well as volume knob postion and the headstock reversed thus rendering it a totally different model from the face eraser. Both are excellent models but this is by no means a face eraser and should not be called one.
