March 30. 2026 marks a "22 years anniversary" that Carlos Juan installed his CP-1 pickup in Martin Bellezza Nera on Eric's 59th birthday, on a stage flight case within 25 minutes. Eric opened an acoustic set with "Bell Bottom Blues". That CP-1 was engraved "Carlos", then few days later Carlos installed another CP-1 engraved "Eric" in Eric's 00028-EC guitar. Both CP-1 were commissioned by Eric's (over two decades) longtime guitar tech Lee Dickson, in addition to (two) CTP tube preamps 7-2006.
