[Emerald]

This guitar is on Ebay currently. A collector buddy of mine is asking me if it is legit and one of 100 as is stated in the ad. The seller is asking $7.7K!
Sorry I can't post the link using my phone, computer is stillin the shop.

Just search 1991 Jake E. Lee Charvel.
Thanks

Aliennation is the seller, dude's a joke. Not sure of the authenticity of the guitar, I just know he is always pricing stuff way to high.

[Axewielder]

It's been discussed a few times, the guitar is a legit Japan-only model. The seller is on crack.

[algeriet]

Yeah, the prices there are pretty crazy sometimes.

There was just discussion about this seller's pricing in another thread.

Tell your buddy not to bother. Wayyy to much money.

I have one of those.
What is it really worth?

Likely the market is too small to get an accurate estimate, but I would guess about half or less than the cost of a USA JEL model. $800-$1000 at most. More likely $500-$800

Don't buy from that guy.
He is well known for ripping people off.

I just finished mine. All the correct parts. Took about 3 years to collect all the pieces. Plays like butta'.
I can't seem to post a picture though.

You need a photo hosting site... like imageshack or photobucket....

Real one? Probably closer to $1500... it's a Chushin Gakki Holy Grail, of which there aren't many. $1000 would be a steal.

It's real. JEL-9 stamps on neck and body. It took a long time to find the correct pickups.
The pot and switch have been upgraded but I have the originals.
