Have a look at this one:

Church bulletin lettering and insane price...

MVP has a replica for sale for $3900.00. He paid $2500.00 for it.

Paul - I don't believe that the original was made in 1947. Despite that, there is no Fender in any remote pricing (which would you rather have). I hope this guy is paying a very, very large fee for posting "it."

Think I'll stick with my '57 LP reissue.

Some classic spelling and quotes in there:

"This momentus event.."
"influnced..."
"extremely unique...."

And the winner is.....

"Bigsby had a glue problem early on..."

LOL!
