What the hell happened to Frampton's axe?

I noticed the ad for his upcoming gig in Baltimore as part of his "Comes Alive" 35-year anniversary tour. It's got his photo from that album cover, but the head of his trusty Lester is missing. See below.

I decided to investigate, went right to his website, man that thing is smokin'. He got somebody smart and creative to design him something that for once does not insult our intelligence. It didn't take me long to find that missing Gibson head -- I just went to the link for his live dates. Scroll down this page.

Say what you will about the phenomenon he became in the spring and summer of '76, at the ripe old age of 25. The guy has serious chops and he's never stopped honing them. Plus he lives in Cincinnati, and he offers his own pedals. Who could ask for more? I'm getting out the phase shifter when I get home.
