Not to be a downer, but, I think it would be good to check and make sure that the original maker of the statue is connected to the family that controls Jaco's affairs. I'd just like to make sure that profits go to the children of Jaco, not to a knockoff company making all of the money. The statue is great and looks like the maker really was aware of Jaco's legacy. Let's just make sure that we reward "him" in a way that reward's his estate.

Did they really have to pick an image of him wearing that shirt? Geeze......I'd consider getting one if it weren't for that.

Not a "downer" at all; you made some excellent points. I can't stand to see people making a quick buck off someone else's hard-earned legacy. It's good to check it out and be sure.

There's something wrong here, no fender decal, that is a Warmoth neck!
