Someone posted it on a facebook page. I wondered aloud if it was real. What do you think, Chris?

Saw this years ago, and I'm pretty sure the back story was that it wasn't his actually, just some kind of promo thing. Pretty sure it also said it wasn't a US V63 per se but one of the Japan-only PMC basses.

No PMC bass here, the peghead is a mirror-image...just a lefty V63.

Only PMC is PMC in this pic. :wink:

Didn't the PMC basses have the reversed headstock?
