It does say that they have signed documentation from both Bruce ans Burns as to their authenticity! Anyone know if Bruce has actually sold his Burns to this company? If I recall they were offering Hanks at an even higher price, although we know his were stolen! I'm sure each of the band would have had several different guitars from 64 to 68.
Hank had at least two separate white Marvins; he started with a 1964 model with unbound neck and progressed later in that decade to one with a bound (purfled) fretboard (as seen in the NMW Pollwinners' Concert photograph on the reverse of the sleeve of his first LP).
Whether that is true of Bruce is doubtful. He never moved onto one with a bound neck and it was stated that Bruce's original Marvin was the one used as a template for the first of the Burns Anniversary models.
