I believe this one was on ebay recently and sold for $4,298.98

You can see the plugged holes near the bridge in image 4. I wish him luck getting $14950.00 (well when I reloaded it has $10,327.46 for the price)

I believe those markings are a part of the woods matched slices. The back slices on the guitar appear to be from the same wood source. The 14,950.00 price was AUD (stated in the footer) and when I reloaded I got the 10,327.46 and the footer changed to USD. The pricing is driven by a cookie stored on the local machine. I deleted the petesrareguitars.com cookie and it reverts back to the AUD amount and footer. It then sets the cookie again for USD (this is based off your IP address location).

I drew a circle around what I am talking about. It is visible in some of the other pictures as well.

There was a discussion about this here.

The guy who bought it signed his message pete and this is on petes rare guitar site. I think it is probably the same guitar.

Ah... I missed that mark... for the kind of money being asked sure hope the seller exposes all flaws.

Nice catch Todd!
