Why you ask??? because of a GIBSON decal that can be bought on ebay for around $25.

I just thought i'd let you guys in on this little secret. It's not the first Edwards i've seen on ebay sell for more than it's retail price due to a Gibson decal!!!

Now I know the 'unique selling point' of my Eddie ... making a Gibbo out of it ... :roll: :roll:

yeah I have one on my Edwards JP I know the guy that makes them
their not very convincing up close cause the 'inlayed' parts are like mirrors....it does a nice temporary job until you can afford 100+ for a real gibson headstock veneer that you have to laquer in.

that might be the next step, but I wouldnt sell my JP as a gibson or try to get anymore money for it
