Would that be this one that we attempted to sell at the last Philly show and later was bought by EJ??

That is definitely 8 2803, but what has happened to the serial number? Is it just photoshopped?

The Bigsby theory fails if the above photos are from before he bought it.

It's definitely the same guitar, same sings on it and some new one as well: seems to me that mr Johnson Bigsby'd it for some time before restoring it to previous conditions.


Doesn't seem like a covered Bigsby hole to me - and the second photo does not show the area where that 'hole' is located.

Plus there would have to be more repaired screw holes on that guitar.

Definitely. I said "it seems to me" in fact :)

I don't know where the supposedly new sign near the tailpiece stud comes from however, it's kinda hard to do nicks in that spot.

Seller says it may be a reflection - there are no covered holes, no removed Bigsby...

I'm pretty sure the Serial No. is photoshopped for scam-resistance...:jim
