i appreciate your feedback very much.

Is there anything in specific you could mention?

I am wondering if all the twelve mentioned in the VG PRICE GUIDE Are part of this lot of fakes?


Yes it hurts.
It is also hard to believe that people can just do this to each other and then just walk away.
Denial.

Ouch! It looks like someone took a Clapton Strat and turned it into a "Limited Edition/Prototype" ... to make a few more bucks off of it?

ME,
When you have been so much ripped off after being so happy to show up to all of us, must be a great pain.
Suggest to let him swallow his pain although giving the source of such trouble might be good for him and all of us.

Thanks for the sympathetic remarks All

i've had this for a few years

got it from a store in CA, guitar Heaven

6k is what I paid I believe

The guitar came with a letter which I did not post, signed with the name Yasuhiko Iwanade...who needs no intro.

SO several sigs forged.....I gotta believe this person has done more work of this sort beyond the twelve mentioned.

The reference in VG Price Guide appears in 2007(not present in the book prior to that) and specifically only twelve are mentioned with a certificate!
Mine didn't come with a cert but rather a letter from Y. I. (author of the Beauty of the Burst, former C Shop Employeed and now Gibson official in Japan)

Have you been able to find any reference to the other 11 on the internet?

I haven't been successful finding any info on these.

I don't have the VG price guide.

Noiseless pickups did not exist in 1987. are you talking about Lace Sensors?

if not, then you have been horribly scammed.


According to A.R.Duchossoir's narrative of the development of this guitar, they started with the Elite and went from there. The photos appear to be a
'dressed up' Clapton.
