Years ago at a Hurricane Katrina benefit (2005?) at the Soho House in NYC I purchased at auction, a Epiphone Gibson Flying V which was supposedly concert used and signed by Lenny Kravitz, donated by his manager, guitar flown to NYC right after the show. 15 years later and no longer drunk and full of generosity I wonder if I got the real thing on my hands or maybe I was the one being played, and not the guitar.
The guitar looks used, covered in sweat and scratches but the signature looks janky. Maybe it was used by him but signed by the manager. If there is some way I can get a better idea as to what I have, sales records, serial numbers, photos, etc.. I would appreciate any help on this. I tried calling the manager and leaving messages on web sites/facebook pages but have only been met my silence.
I'm a good guy. I was trying to support the victims (and not become one). Later, I bought a second Gibson Les Paul, new, for my brother to help him remember his days as a rockstar before the kids and the mortgage and no, I can't play a single chord or ever strum one of these things without sending cats and dogs running for cover.
I am 100% certain that is Lenny's big toe on the bottom right!!!

I loved his Elephant Part album he came out with in 1981! RIP Mike.

The guitar appears genuine from what I can see in the pics. My guess about the serial number is the same as yours. Nice looking guitar, I hope you have many years of enjoyment with her.

There's something I find hard to like about Trogly. It's not that he has enough money to buy just about every guitar he sees, it's not that.
No, wait - it's that.
Have you ever wondered what he does with with some of those guitars?

Do Not Play Things At Tempo when you first start learning them. Play them only as fast as you can correctly and properly change the chords without stumbling. Do that a few times and your tempo will incrementally, exponentially get up to the right tempo. It takes time, effort, discipline, and some small amount of pain. Suck it up and keep at it.
Bingo!

BTW, Asperger syndrome has nothing to do with finger dexterity at all. It is an autism spectrum disorder. I am a Sp. Ed. Teacher and have worked with students that have Asperger's.
Good luck FF!
Brad, I have to beg to differ. My boy has Aspergers and has issues with finger dexterity, and it bothers the hell out of him. He cant even tie his own shoes at the age of 21. Not all people within the spectrum suffer with this. Taking up the guitar is out of the question for him. He could beat the hell out of the drums, but he lost interest.

Did you ever accidently sit on your balls?

When you spend that kind of money, it should include a hard shell case.

I never liked them either, I found them a waste of time.

May I suggest calling them instead of emailing them? I have noticed that people get a much better experience from Gibson when they go this route.

The bridge pup looks like it may have had a "Patent Applied For" sticker on it. I have had some peel of in the past. That may be the case here. The pups may not have come stock with this guitar.
