I was just about to post that after reading the thread...

Thanks CHIMP!

But, that would mean the white trim was painted by hand on top of the clear coat as it's not aged...

Nitrocellulose silver and gold turn to that army greenish without any clear coat...

That guitar is real though...and i've seen them here and there around the country...no big deal...

if you've seen them here and there around the country either you were
a) following one of the 2 guitars.
b) got lucky to be in the same place they were.
c) there is more than 2.

I vote for C.

There are two prototypes...

I've seen more than one with blue and silver airbrush...

I've seen them on ebay as well...

Elvis,

Thanks for clearing that up.
I have seen these all over the place.
That one on ebay is not one of the prototypes.
If it was would any one let it get destroyed like that? Nope.
Someone had some pics and built a replica.
