This would seem rare, with only 75 claimed to have been built - plus this one was owned by Rusty.. :hmm

Your comments, please....do look at the paperwork too.

I love the color and the figure and think she is a beauty . I am racking my brain trying to remember when they came to my part of the woods if Rusty was sporting this beauty and I almost want to say yes , but not under oath . I have to tell you they were sporting some of the nicest Gibson's , so that was a cool part of the show including Sir Paul's Vintage Left handed Burst !

I wonder if the price tag reflects the pedigree of the owner ?

An update is in order I guess - the reverb listing was pulled. After having confronted the (French) seller with a number of 'inconsistencies' he drew the conclusion that he has been duped by the previous seller - his guitar teacher of all people, and delisted the guitar.

No folks, there never was a Rusty Anderson LE Les Paul , let alone 75 of those (or I will eat my hat). Even funnier than that is the 'paperwork' on the photos - did you see that?

- UK guitar shop listing on its sales invoice to Mr Anderson that the guitar is "spécial" for Rusty - only a French speaker would mistakingly write this
- similarity of Brauer's and UK invoices' setup with columns 'description', 'amount', 'price per unit', 'price'
- fake Gibson limited edition certificate, based on a real Gibson acoustic guitar certificate with a number of words deleted and then copied, and, the best one of them all:
- Andy Brauer doing repairs in LA and billing the customer in euro currency :##

Oh boy..

That's just to much monkey business going on with the over inflating the price like by double or almost double . I really didn't know what to make of the paper work ? Now the icing on the cake being wanting Euro currency . That is just adding insult to injury .

Not my cup of tea. Guess I'm more of a traditionalist.

Really liked the RA 335s Gibson made a few years back. Would have bought the one I tried but already owned a great 335. I credit myself for my financial sensibilities (for once in my life, at least! :hee)

Why would RA buy his own signature model from a UK store anyway?? ..very dodgy..

Fake backstory aside, I think it looks like shit. Quilt tops are ugly, I hate black (kind of looks dark purple but still) guitars with brown boards, put the two together and I'm bound to be outraged.
