Trans-Siberian Orchestra auto'd guitar

[tphilli]

I have a TSO auto'd guitar that appears to be custom for the band with no manufacturer info (at least that I can see). I would like to know what brand / model it is and an approx value for my home owners ins.

Here is a link to a general pic - I can email a close up if you think you can help. (you will need to scroll down a little)


Thanks!

Looks to be a pretty generic LP copy.

No way to tell the brand without a closeup of at least the headstock.

As far as I'm aware, TSO uses Ibanez and other such "pointy" guitars, so I'm pretty sure its just a generic knockaround.

Its difficult to place a value on an autographed guitar without proper documentation... even if you've got a pic of the artist holding it.

I got word from the TSO mgmt that the retail was $269 on the guitar and it was custom made for them. What would I need to prove that it is officially signed by TSO?

Thanks

"Retail" is a very loose term haha... Odds are TSO has guitars "made" for them to use as promo items, much the way Jack Daniels has a line of promo guitars made for them by Peavey.

(I recently played a Peavey-built Jack Daniels 335 clone. Wasn't terrible, but definitely on-par with those cheap-o Epiphone Dot-335's.)
