I must say, I am impressed for the first time in a long time on the 'aging', that having been said, I am happy that I choose the VOS... I do like that the serial number spells out KNOPFLER instead of MK as the VOS does.

If anyone knows of a lead on one, please pm me. I have been in contact with everyone I know in the business trying to track one down. Thus far unsuccessfully.

Thanks for asking! I am looking for a True Historic aged&signed. I have a VOS and passed on the aged.

To be honest, I don't get the idea of an aged guitars, and all the relics that is. If I'd had enough money to buy any of MK 1958 Custom Les Pauls, I'd buy the VOS one and would beat it up by myself. Can't see one reason of going over aged one. Especially if you know the process of how they actually do "the ageing", they just bump it with stones and stuff, and mimic lacquer cracks with a scalpel, and that's it. Same goes with signed version — I don't care about signature, it's just someone damaging the guitar. If you get signature in person it's another story.

So my ideal solution would be buying VOS MK 1958 Les Paul and signing it by the man himself, and this would be THE shit.

Also, how many of you know that Gibson utilises their "signature" Bumblebee Capacitors in all their guitars which is just 5 cents (literally) cheap Wesco capacitors made TO LOOK like it's a genuine thing? And they also sell it for 100$ or so. Some people are dyeing their grey hair, so what do I know? I just hate forgery in all forms there is, including signature you have nothing to do with, tribute bands, aged guitars, etc.

Interesting that you are allowed to say Shit while if I would say Sex or anything that has Sex in it would be marked as Spam...

Haha, I understand you! But as fas as I'm concerned, the word "shit" in English is pretty much neutral and the meaning of it hugely depends on the context, and in many cases is can be a very positive word, like in my case. And by saying "the shit" one simply means "the best". And what especially funny is that Mark himself said, that "Dire Straits" means "In shit" on BBC interview or something like that. This is example of a bad context.

There's Aged #13 in the Wildwood Guitars shop. Can't wait for the demo from their all mighty Greg Koch!

And I know he will demo it, because Mark is one of his favourite players.
