This particular example is one of only a handful of guitars personally ordered by Ed and sent directly to him in 1995. He set this one up, played and signed it. An extremely rare find for the most die hard VH fanatic. It cannot be compared to others that have been purchased and later brought to venues for signatures. The guitar was first acquired in 1995 at the Boomer/Esiason Auction For Heroes Foundation and comes with a copy of the auction receipt. Ernie Ball/Musicman can be contacted to confirm this particular serial number was purchased under Ed's account. The guitar itself is in mint condition with only a few small marks and the protective film is still attached to the rear control plate covers. It plays super smooth with ultra low action. Includes original case with keys and is being sold on behalf of the original party. Additional photo's are available upon request. Guitar will be shipped and insured via Fedex. Continental US only.
