Isn't Paul left handed? I wonder if his sig series guitars are all left handed.

yes he is left handed, but they are right and left handed

this is taken from musicians friend.

In the hands of Paul McCartney, this guitar gave the world "Yesterday" and dozens of other Beatles greats. Now Gibson Montana has re-created this tonal masterpiece (strung right-handed) complete with specially antiqued nitrocellulose finish and signed on the top by Sir Paul himself, after he plays it. Individually handmade in a limited run of only 40 instruments by some of the world's best luthiers, it's crafted with the finest woods, including a fine-grained solid Sitka spruce top; mahogany back, sides, and neck; and rosewood fretboard. All the lacquer cracks, wear and tear, and so on are added by hand to accurately depict Sir Paul's original in its current condition. The ultimate centerpiece of any 20th-century collection. Comes with custom case and certificate of authenticity. Adopt a Minefield will receive a percentage of the profits.

I see the Epiphone Aged Texan Acoustic Guitar Signed by Paul McCartney on musicians friend based on 105 ratings its overall rating of only 4.07 by what pics i have seen they have hand made cracks in them to make it look like a replica of his guitar. very hefty price tag

Man oh man oh man. There are SO many "special edition", "limiteds", "commemorative" guiatars out there, in addition to they standard every day production put out by not only the big 3 but many many smaller builders. You can't let yourself get excited everytime you discover a guitar model you've never seen before....like falling in love with every girl you meet. Looses it's significance VERY quickly.

The price isn't bad if they ship it with a fresh set of elixirs and a decent hard shell case. What's the return policy if it isn't a good fit? Will they cover shipping?

How can you have 105 reviews of a guitar that only 40 are being built? What are these people basing their opinions on? (yes, I do know the answer to that question)

I'm confused. Isn't the Paul McCartney Epi Texan selling for around $30,000.00 each? You have 3 of them? Or is there more than one line of these models?
