What is this "Knopfler burst" finish like if anybody knows? Does it look like a "honeyburst" finish because that's the closest thing you can get on stock guitars judging by the pictures alone. At least to my eyes.

Yes, it also seems to me that honeyburst is the closest "standard" burst.

By the way, any of you considering buying one of these from a vendor overseas should make sure that they have the proper export permit as all rosewood species are protected by CITES since the beginning of 2017. Some of the guitar parts vendors have temporarily stopped exporting anything that has any rosewood in it

That's a brazilian add. I'm surprised someone from here got one of those. Probably someone who lives overseas and wants to triple the investment. It's literally the price of a car for us.

It's true for all parts of the world, even for The United Arab Emirates

I guess so... but the type of the car will depend on how strong your currency is plus local taxes lol tricky calculation!

I'll ask the seller how much he wants for the 'car' and once he reponds I will let you all know.

Just got a response, 45.000 reais... don't know the current rates but I'd say maybe 15.000 euros...?

At least an "ordinary" human being, if you can call it that, can buy a 001 guitar. I thought all the "VIP" numbered guitars are already gone to VIPs.

Could somebody please explain why people are constantly covering serial numbers of guitars? What I can possibly gain from knowing this number?

Can I have it painted in lime green? If not, I'm not interested.

Of course. Free of charge.

They had one for about 6500 EUR more than a year ago and that one never had to be listed. Was gone in a couple of days. At this price point I suppose they had to list this one.
