I was told years ago Hendrix is alive and well in the Carribean, maybe Jimi had it all along

I'll bet that it was stolen by baggage handlers before it could get on the plane.

That guitar can talk,
but only in Peters hands.

I would assume since it was a CARGO plane that went down the plane was loaded with CARGO CONTAINERS. Packed in a hard case most likely inside a Grizzly type travel case inside a cargo container. It could easily survive a crash depending on many varibles. If the Cargo plane broke up on impact then its even possible the cargo container could have resurfaced. Or the Instrument travel case. I know the Travel cases I have for my Telescope and a couple camera lenses at water tight.

Whatever the hell happened, that's a special guitar that probably means worlds to Peter Frampton. I'm happy for him. I don't like his music, but this is a badass story and I'm glad he's going to refurbish the guitar.

Not without a Talk Box. He was not the first to use one.

I heard an interview with Frampton were he talked about having to have dental work done because the tube actually vibrates in your mouth and it had loosened up a few of his teeth.

In 2006 he putout an album titled "Fingerprints" It is a confirmation of what an outstanding pop rock guitarist he really is. It won a Grammy for best pop instrumental in 2007. This cut alone is worth buying the CD. "Black Hole Sun" (featuring Matt Cameron/Mike McCready) His last album release was in 2010. "Thank You Mr. Churchill".

I am glad he got his favorite ax back.
