I'd say that Lance McCollum should be informed to confirm or deny its authenticity...and possibly slam the seller if it's bogus!

Lance made it for the Heilbsberg Guitar Festival????
I have not heard about that one.   

Lance made a mistake putting a redwood top on it. It is a good thing this guy is an expert fiberglasser to fix that little mistake with a nice total fiberglass reinforcement of the top.   

It is nice to have second hand purchasers point out obvious mistakes.   

8 bids, $900. Sorry Lance. It must hurt to see this guitar on eBay like that

Hey Paul, I was wondering if I could buy one of your new archtop models, only I have a special request: Could you please finish it in fiberglass for me? I really want it to last a long time, and if it doesn't, at least my kids could sit on it and I could pull them around behind the boat with a good tow-rope.

That was friggin hilarious! Maybe he was trying to make a doubletop?

Too bad he wasn't an expert in kitchen counters - maybe then it could have
had a nice granite color Micarta toplate. I'm sure it would help the sustain
just as much as the fiberglass, maybe more.......

He is absolutely right. I am still wondering why modern builders have not moved to a solid granite design.

Oh my, I asked him how thick the coating was, and he said

"I used one layer of 6 oz E glass, with polyester resin. It is about 1/8" thick at most."

Mike[/QUOTE]

No..... as the man said, he thought it looked studip
I think this guy may be a bit studip hisself if he put 1/8th" oz of fiberglass on this guitars redwood top. I would pass myself, despite the obvious - it seems sketchy.
Cheers

Gotta wonder why all of a sudden it sounds better "plugged in", after all it is smaller . THe fibreglass top would have anything at all to do with it, it actually makes it better.....

YIKES!

Shane
