It's still in the hands of the original owner, I think. And you're welcome but the credit really should go to Brassardois, The one who uploaded the video to Youtube. :)

I just noticed the V88 that Semie is playing in the video looks a lot like an M88 sold on eBay last year. I compared the pictures and they have the same general finish, Even on the headstock and both have artwork in the same place!

Here's some links to photos to compare.

Semie's V88 (Look for the artwork in the same general place)

.....and one guitar has no pick guard either, also the one guitar has the truss rod cover on the headstock (shaped like the headstock)....
