Hi!

I bought a very nice CS a year ago - a real nice player - and very nice sounding - all in all a fantastic guitar that I am very happy with.
I am not the guy concerning much about papers and years or who built it - I use guitars to play and that is my main concern when I buy a guitar - is it a good player!?.
Well, a little devil is now teasing me all the time, as I have had questions implicating it might not be a genuine Custom Shop!!.
Well, I have not been able to find anything at all about it - anywhere - and I think that is a little strange. If it really is a kind of pre-study to the "Blackie" - I mean it should not be that secret?? - I also wonder why it is stated a Closet Classic - with a heavy worn neck??.
I have these pictures of it for you to judge upon:

I hope someone can me piece in mind!

Thanks in advance

Looks legit to me. It has the neck & body Fender CS impressions in the wood, and seems to be a limited run of 12. Being that limited makes it hard to discover information obviously.

The Seller -from Germany- sold it as a limited batch of 12 Blackies.
Only ME could give a clue to this limited series as the COA is signed by him.
Well it's some kind of CC compared to the Tribute Blackie.

Thank you for answering!
Well, how can I come further up the road towards info on this one? - How can I get in contact with ME who signed the COA? - is it worth more than an ordinary CS then??

I'll be on my couch on Monday Alain!!!
Leaving Switzerland tomorrow. Two days getting rest!

It's not a Blackie by any means. A 57 Strat that looks like somebody did additional Relic'ing to.

Hi!

Ok thank you, but can you tell me something about the numbering. No serial - just 10 of 12 on the back of the head. Is that usual?. Is it a fake?.

The amount of rear neck wear doesnt look consistent with the front of the guitar to my eye. Back of the neck loolks very heavily worn and uniform.
