This is bad...even for eBay

I think this might just take the cake for "creative" auctions.
-apologies if this item has already been discussed.

I like 8 string guitars, but not at that price!
I seriously doubt that the Buddy Emmons story is true. There are people who aren't above forging his signature.

Interesting that they didn't post a picture of the front, where a LOGO might be.
I expect the B.E. claim is totally specious, but notwithstanding that it looks like it could be a fun little guitar for an A6 tuning or something like that.
Of course it would have to be about $1200 lower in price to get me really interested.

That's not Buddy's signature. He signed under my Sho-Bud S-12 when he played a Convention here in England. It's nothing like that on that guitar

I'd pay $500 for it. I like 8 string pedal steels.

What, you don't like this? I find it quite "respectable". In fact, it's one of my favorite instruments.

I informed the seller that his guitar was "absolutely not" made by Buddy, and he promptly closed the auction. I think it was probably an honest mistake. He believed what he had been told. He's not a steel player.

Just curious...do we actually know for a fact Mr. Emmons didnt make this guitar?
Granted it seems highly unlikely, but did we get absolute confirmation from the Big E himself?
I can see a builder of fine race cars, cobbling a go cart from a lawnmower engine in his garage just for a laugh one day when he's bored or waiting for parts

Yes. The builder at this point is unknown. We only know that it wasn't Buddy Emmons.Ben Jones wrote:Just curious...do we actually know for a fact Mr. Emmons didnt make this guitar?
