I added BC00135 and BC00142 as 'Neck or neckplate only' to the Registry. All other were registered as such already. There are 12 Bfroadcaster neck plates listed so far. Hope people look over here to check on the S/N but I'll have to keep my fingers crossed.

The eBay listing is for "G&L Broadcaster guitar neck decal X2 NOS original G&L OEM will work on ASAT". Yes, "will work on ASAT". The description reads in part:
"I've used these by putting them in hot water and then applying to the headstock carefully. It's not necessary to put clear over them, this is an optional step. Paint your ASAT black and you now have a Broadcaster Lol ."
"Lol" . Caveat emptor.

I saw this ad as well Ken. People will always copy anything desirable. It's the unscrupulous that try and do it for a profit and not disclose that it's a copy. If you own an original, it pays to know the provenance of it for future collectors.

I understand the desire to copy, just like folks who "rebrand" their Squires with a Fender decal. The thing that really got me about this guy's post was the "I've already done it a couple of times...LOL". It's up to him if he's building a personal stash of modded ASATs, but what's the chance of somebody seeking out several collectible guitars just to "rebrand" them for his personal collection?

I purchases numerous Broadcaster plates at one time just to get them off the market so no one would be tricked into thinking a guitar was a "real Broadcaster". Of the ones I bought, 10 of them were issued with the first 10 G&L 20th Anniversary models #1-#10 that we had at the shop along with a certificate. I've still other Broadcaster plates sitting in my G&L box. Here's all the serial numbers I've seen.
