Nope--it's absolutely uncheckable, so you're taking a big leap of faith buying this guitar.

Unless the seller has documentation, I wouldn't touch it.

He says he has documentation, but will only reveal to the winner. Strange?

...not strange and it is possible.I do know of a few built.

But to support this claim,the seller must have provenance

 

[b-squared]

Yeah, I'd hate to buy it and find out that the celeb was one of the Jonas Bros. or something...

 

[SKATTERBRANE]

Oh I know there were post 03 BRW, I had one. But it is strange he won't give a hint of the documentation. As far as celebrity ownership, I could not care less about that.

Why would you unload that kinda a cash on something he won't document or answer questions on? Seems ridiculous. Be open and honest and he'll get a fair market value if it is what he says it is.

I assume whoever wins the auction will require the serial number, documentation, etc prior to paying. If Gibson won't confirm it, you're paying a big premium for a seller's 'word'.

 

[Mike60]

...bids are up to $5,600...

 

[Mike60]

...reserve not met...

 

[shotgunlew]

wow...

I'd say your better deals come up right here on this forum. My braz was a steal compared to this one.
