Are they 15k where you are? Here in the U.S., the aged are MAPIng at 10k, and you guys over the pond are actually allocated more than we are.

The aged and the sign ones should be identical aging -correct ???....

Interesting side-note, in the thread it's mentioned Joe no longer owns the Batman guitar.

Re: Joe's Skinner Prototype and Magnatone Amp

I will never understand why Gibson go to so much effort with these amazing burst replicas, then chuck on the most awful looking pickup covers that are nowhere near the shape they should be to replicate the original PAF's................

Les Paul Geek, nut, obsessed etc. etc.
