I'll attach a few higher-res images. Unless the artist gets down to the detail of winding strings and adding electronics, I'd say it's a real guitar.

I originally thought Taylor but the location of the electronics disputes that.

I had no bucket list so I picked up the guitar... and my life changed for the better.

Looking closely at the the grain pattern in the headstock, It seem that a logo has been smudged away between tuning pegs 2,3 and 4,5. and possibly in blackened area above.

The headstock is Ibanez! Logo is in same positions as smudge and blackened area.
I did not check if Ibanez used those tuning knobs.

That headstock is used on Ibanez Artcore Hollow body electrics, such as link
and the AEL acoustics none of which have exotic tonewoods.

A quick scan did not find the top finish used, but my search was not exhaustive. I agree it looks "shopped"

Next!

Ill merge this thread with older one when we get more info.

Location of the electronics on the lower bout is off as well from current Ibanez, but that may have changed over time.

RobertW , and petermac , you guys are right. Here's a pic of an Ibanez AEL20EVV. Don't know if this guitar is still being made or what, but it was on sale at a place called Stanton's Music at some point in time. Don't even know where that is!

Look familiar?

Thanks guys, great information! So from what I'm reading it sounds like the guitar is more 'based on a true story' than an actual documentary, if you follow my metaphor. Just as well, I probably shouldn't be adding anything else to my lust list.

referred to as Violin finish

Grains can vary, I never said it was the exact same guitar as the one in the banner......ya nit-picky old sod!

Next you're going to tell me the dirt on the strings is not in the right place!
