I'm looking @ a used Demartini bomber. It has "custom shop" on the head stock and it doesn't have Warrens sig on the back of the headstock.
There aren't as many of these models as some of his other signature guitars so its not easy to find comparison guitars. I can only find pics of a few and the don't have "custom shop " on them and they do have the sig. I do know that Charvel is prone to do this type of thing
I have owned a few custom shop Charvel's but I'm no expert , I also owned one that I was later told was a fake. I still don't know if the guy who told me that know what he was talking about. It was every bit as good as the others I have owned and it had all the right markings . Any way I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on this . I don't want to buy a fake.
BTW the guy says he has all the paperwork , I assuming he means hang tags.
 
Is there a serial number on that guitar? Also probably some other info such as where it's made etc. Could provide some help.
 
The Charvel Demartini guitars were all Custom Shop guitars prior to the production run of the guitars. The production run were the ones with his signature and no Custom Shop logo on the headstock. It's possible that the Custom Shop guitars could have his signature, but most that I've seen do not.
Also, the Custom Shop guitars typically sell for more $.
 
Does it have a USA neck plate? What is the serial? You can call or email Fender customer service; they’ll tell you exactly what model/specs that the serial number was assigned to. Color, build date etc. I’ll see if I can find that email address.
 
Thanks guys , according to the custom shop site it was a 2006 winter Namm guitar.
