KH signature owners registry?
KH signature owners registry?
Folks,
Is there a registry of who owns what serial number guitar?
I am asking because I think it might help with preventing people from unknowingly purchasing a counterfeit of limited edition KH guitars and other signature series. If we know, or have a list of what members/collectors own what serial, it could aid in seeing provenance of original guitars. Obviously ,seeing multiples of serials is immediately visible and the list would need to be updated on sale or purchase. Might also help finding a guitar you want.

At Gibson and Fender, you can call in with a serial and they will give you all the information and specs you ever wanted to know about a particular guitar which is helpful in determining fakes. At Tom Anderson you can do it on their website using a serial search box.
It's always difficult to do something like that. Not everyone that has a limited and/or pricey guitar wants people to know that they have it (their wives being foremost among them, I imagine .)
I know someone around here tried doing it with the 90s runs of Ouijas and the 2009 run as well. Not sure if it's gone much beyond that.
