Bloody hell. Mind, it's a highly thought of guitar in the Les Paul community, and this is the first time they've done a proper replica of it. The old Moore signatures were just an aesthetic copy I think. Possibly had the flipped magnet in the pup, but I'm not sure.
I'd be interested to try one just to test out the out-of-phase neck pick up.
There's a lot of pictures of Moore with the guitar and the pickup's orientation corrected. He must have turned it back around at some point - or a subsequent collector did before Hammett bought it. I assume the magnet wasn't corrected.
Aye i watched an interview with Phil Harris and he says Gary reverted it back as he thought it messed too much with the guitars mojo when he ‘corrected’ it
Yeah, he is…. You’d be surprised, he is in his twenties now!
All this pricing by tagging a name and mimicking some scratches, a neck profile and pickup placement is ridiculous. Marketing madness. I sort of get the price being crazy when it is the actual guitar and the provenance of that, but even then they are still just a guitar.
I have some nice guitars but don’t think that I have ever paid any stupid money.
My regret was not buying a Fraser guitar when they first started being produced. His Telecasters are a real thing of beauty and were originally only £795.

It took me 18 months to get it sorted and there was an amazing story too which I don’t want to share publicly but I will send you later.
Absolute tease
