Question Whats the difference in Certificates of Authenticity mean?

[That Guy]

I looked at a CoA in a auction on Ebay and it had a green quilt BFR on it (which is the CoA that came with my guitar) instead of the all gold one I see normally. What does this mean?

Green:

Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci BFR NAMM guitar 1of1 - eBay (item 270460661835 end time Oct-23-09 17:24:33 PDT)

Gold:

the rosewood neck BFR's did have a different looking certificate and came in an envelope with Ball Family Reserve on it. The reason for it I'm not sure.

EB simply came out with a different/updated certificate right around the time of the rosewood neck BFRs. They don't mean anything different, either one certifies the authenticity.

Dargin said it was just time for a change!

If you got a green one it means that Dargie likes you....If you got a gold one you must have crossed Aziah.....Gold ones were for the losers.


Seriously we just changed them and will continue to do so......hehehehe

phew, I got a green one. I was worried...I am a lefty after all.

I got a gold one...that just means we were the first to get the BFR's ....Gold Certificates guitars and basses are worth more because it was the first time a BFR was made from EBMM....and that means they are rarer!.........SO there!

I thought that the gold certificates meant that you won a trip to the chocolate factory and that you could meet Willy Wonka (a.ka. BP)?

I can imagine BP sitting in his office and just thinking, "This little change is gonna mess with the knucklehead's minds!"

............so if I want to order the soon to be name changed 25th with a new name as a BFR with red quilt, redwood asymetrical neck but Petrucci width and maple fingerboard and MM90 pickups but with the switching options of a 25th......can I get a COA that's on green paper with red lettering?

(to answer the obvious question....yes...I am a chucklehead)

aha, never thought of that.

 

[Smellybum]

I've just held my COA over a boiling kettle - It has the BP's login details for the forum.... stock code to have whatever ball you want made and Aziah's home number!?!?!?

What do I win???
