I guess the only reason I can think of is "There is a sucker born every day"
400.00 BIN awe come on!!!!
What value could it have unless you owned the guitar it was origionally printed for??

You know what they say--"there's one born every minute".........

I guess the reasoning is that a fraudster could add $1,000 to the value of a guitar if they attach Tom Murphy to it. Or more if it isn't even a Custom Shop guitar in the first place. You can buy a Custom Shop case for $150.

But the serial numbers...

There was a guy on the 'bay who used heavy card stock and actually had the certs reproduced by a professional printer (and flaunted it in his ads). I think eBay kicked him off the site for counterfeit.
