Thanks Max
As you can see from my posts above, the # issues, and confirmation of Les signing were provided to me by Gibson, after many calls
I know in my situation, it was signed before finishing assembly, as signature tails off under the bridge...that may explain the delay in hitting the streets, they had to get him to sign them, and then get them back and issued
I believe I am close to gettig a certificate, but that too is taking some work, as it seems only a few people at Gibson know the full story
Take care
JG
