I want to share with all of you a great cause with a rare prize available for grabs. I am Sir Johan, an ex-musician, and I was a friend of Bob Marley and his guitar tech. He gave me his guitar knowing that I would do something great with it one day and now the time has come. Bob, being a great humanitarian through his music and movements gave me a vehicle that will allow me to raise monies for charities & awareness programs around the world. This is what Bob Marley would want have done and I'm here to share my story with all of you. I always wondered why he wanted to give me his guitar when I didn't want it, I think and I know it was because I never asked for his autograph and to take pictures with him, we hanged out, and I treated him more of a friend. What can I say, I'm a lucky guy, and now one lucky person in this entire planet besides me will own it because Bob's guitar is up as a charity prize. People always ask for a picture of Bob Marley playing this guitar & I simply reply by telling them that this was custom made guitar for him made with his name engraved in the back of it & he most likely played it behind closed doors which makes the guitar even more special and valuable. I'm simply sharing with all of you a real guitar that Bob owned, the legend, my friend, & a great humanitarian to all. Peace, love and respect, Sir Johan, Founder, DJOD.ORG Lottery Info Pack. PS. If you have any questions and concerns about the guitar's authenticity, you will find our contact info on our site. You can also reply here. God Bless.

I have never played this guitar so I will not say anything about how good or bad it feels, plays, or sounds. Bob Marley and his music have been a part of my soul for over 20 years that being said I wish Epiphone would have cloned his guitar in Asia like his original, no pictures of his face or colors of a flag for the fretboard markers just a natural finished mahogany body and neck with the aluminum pickguard and white binding around the neck and headstock with of course SOAPBAR PICKUPS not humbuckers. I don't think Bob would have been upset with this guitar but he would not have played it either even if given to him not because of the way it looks but because humbuckers do not sound like soapbars and it would have changed his sound. One other thing to watch out for is that the Asian people are catching up with our guitars here in the states. They get better every year.

This is a beautiful guitar that is very well made and sounds great, plus its sure to be a collectors item since it was discontinued - it was made from 2004-2006 in small numbers. I repair guitars and amps, and this guitar is very well made IMHO. It's feather light, the AlNiCo humbuckers sound great, and the tuners are quality grovers. I might replace the pots and switch, but they seem to work fine. I saw Bob Marley in 1976 and it was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. I am grateful to have found one of these before the supply dries up. They seem to have made this model with considerable attention to quality - I love it!!!
