I was a gibson dealer in the 70-80's and purchased a CEC from my sales rep. It has the "custom shop edition" decal on back of the headstock with serial number and "made in USA" beneath. The case candy includes a little string card identifying the instument (K051) as an "original limited edition produced Jan through June of 1982" in Kalamazoo. Also included along with the warranty card is a nice form letter on parchment paper signed by Chet himself.
Ok, is this part a true story?
The rep (who could sell ice to eskimos) informed us that this was one of the first 100 produced and that all 100 had a "k" prefix for "Kalamazoo".
