Note that there is another Guild Artist Award for sale on eBay. It is advertised as a ". . . NEW OLD STOCK 2000 MODEL GUILD JOHNNY SMITH BOB BENEDETTO AWARD MODEL . . . "
As I understand it from the press releases of the time, the Johnny Smith endorsement happened in about January 2006. Still, the seller manages to find older models with the Johnny Smith name already installed in the headstock inlay without any comment about how it got there.
This is the second listing of an altered Guild AA that I have noticed by that seller. I asked him about it thru an eBay querry a couple months ago during his first re-labeled sale effort and only got back a lot of childish, "wah, wah -- who needs to hear that" type of comments.

So, if he really doesn't care, how come he's not also providing Johnny Smith certificates wtih these guitars?
Too bad because these are probably real Benedettos and the Buy It Now price doesn't seem out of line. He could be attracting serious buyers who know what they're looking for, but I'd be amazed if serious buyers aren't put off by that kind of "promotional style."
