Speaking of The Tone King

[jimistephen]

Saw this floating around Facebook, people are wondering if it's a new Tremonti but it looks like a Seymour Duncan pickup. Maybe another one off?

These old eyes could be wrong, but I believe the tuners and headstock signature look old skool. May be an older model?

Employee guitar?

IIRC, old one-off for Billy Gibbons??? Was on ebay more than once...

Definitely fake. Website says it's a one off for Billy Gibbons, then says it's available both left and right handed, and is only $423.

If it is only going for $423, I would be skeptical. Something about "You get what you pay for" or "If it is too good to be true...." may apply here.

That is definitely NOT a PRS stoptail to my eyes. Even the two piece stoptail ala SC58 has grooves of some kind in the bridge and larger bridge studs. I stand to be corrected as I am only looking at photos online, but perhaps someone could confirm that.

They're not PRS tuners either.

I think it's probably from Ed Roman's shop. He used to make replicas of the original. Tone King is a big fan-boy.
