Thank you for viewing this listing.  I have been selling guitars, gold, jewelry, gemstones, and several other items on eBay for many years and have gained a reputation for selling quality products at fair prices. The item being offered here is a very rare 2007 G&L Custom Creations Phyllis Fender “Blondie” electric guitar, number 091.  As there were only 100 of this type of guitar made, it is difficult to determine the actual value, however, I was told that it should sell for at least $1,800.00.  I was able to do a little research online and found only 2 available for sale, one at $1,900 and the other at $3,000.  Before listing this guitar on eBay, I took it to a local guitar shop for a complete service and it works perfectly.  Please view the photos as they show that this guitar is in great condition and comes with a new canvas hard case that I purchased right after the service was done, the first two of the photos show this case.   Below is some information I found online about this guitar:A Beautiful Instrument, A Treat To Hands, Eyes and Ears"Blondie" is a nickname Leo had given to Phyllis, and G&L lore has it that G&L's Blonde finish was blended differently than Leo had used many years earlier. Legend has it that Leo insisted that G&L's Blonde be adjusted to better match Phyllis' hair color, and naturally, Blonde is Phyllis' favorite finish. The Custom Creations Department took the finish a step further, adjusting the tint and solidity of the pigment to take on more of a natural sheen, and the resulting finish was christened "Blondie Blonde" exclusively for this model.Phyllis was also partial to Pearl pickguards, and realizing this, the CCD selected Pearl pegs for the G&L/Schaller tuners as well as a matching Pearl cover for the rear cavity. The Blonde finish blends effortlessly and beautifully with the Pearl accents, and the natural clarity of the polished gloss neck contributes to an aesthetic that reflects Phyllis' own unique blend of elegance, modesty and honesty.Exclusive Extras (Please note: my guitar does not come with either the certificate or the DVD mentioned below, this was just in the information I found online.)  
Every "Blondie" guitar will be hand-signed by Phyllis on the backside of the headstock under the gloss finish. As a Limited Edition, each guitar will be specially numbered and include a G&L Custom Creations Silver Certificate of Authenticity. Possibly the most exciting aspect of the Phyllis model is that it includes a very special edition of the G&L Custom Creations "The Art of Fine Instrument Making" DVD, featuring an in-depth interview with Phyllis Fender.
