+Cal78 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 When I Was at Geowoodstock 6, I happened to pick up one of the soon to be famous Landsharkz Psychadelic Geoguitar Error geocoin, It has GW IV on it instead of GW VI, there was Supposedly only 50 sold before the error was discovered. So who else Got one? Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 We have 2 of the Blue/green ones. Did they really stop selling them? Our friends Huck & Scarlett told us about the mistake, but said the guitars were still being sold. Quote Link to comment
+Cal78 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 From what I was Told, they pulled the error ones and they just sold the normal ones, the error that i have and seen are just the purple/orange ones, are yours errors too? Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Our blue/green ones say GWIV, so yes they are errors. Quote Link to comment
+rivercity Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 The guitars with the errors were taken off the table, but I asked Helen if I could purchase one, and now I have the blue/green Geowoodstock IV guitar! Quote Link to comment

+LionsLair Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'd like one to add to my geoguitar collection(9 different guitars thus far) I wonder if they plan on selling them?... I'll have to keep checking the site, as I missed out on the blue denim and mohagany version... anyone have an extra for sale or trade? Quote Link to comment
+goaliegirl38 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yep, all 3 versions had the error on them... he he, whoops! Quote Link to comment
+Team Teague Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Just checked my orange and purple guitar. It has the error.... Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Yep, all 3 versions had the printing error and we've made a note on our site for anyone who would like to send us their error coin(s) and get a full refund plus their shipping covered. So far nobody has taken us up on this offer but it's out there for anyone who would like to return their error coin(s). We minted 300 and sold about 120 in all 3 versions before we noticed the error. For those of you who are wondering what on earth happened here's the silly story: Chris initially designed the printing file as GWIV ( ) but by the time it came to approve the die art and make the samples we (I ) had caught the error and so the samples are perfect. Those are the images we used to create our product banner which certainly had some folks scratching their heads! The mint asked about the printing on the final coins and we said to use the same printing file as on the samples. The rest of the story is in your hands . We got the boxes of coins sent directly from the mint to Roseville so we didn't see them until very late the night before, when we put them in the display. At that time of night we didn't really 'look' at them that closely. They were packaged so that the printing was facing in toward the card so nobody really saw the error until they took them out of the package. We pulled them from our vendor table around 10:30am when a customer pointed it out to us. I swear Castleman had to peel our jaws off the grass as we stood there agape looking at each other. Because of the uniqueness, we sold them by request only for the rest of the event to folks that knew the 'rest of the story'. One fellow wanted one because he went to GWIV in Texas! We are going to send the rest of the tracking numbers to the mint and get more minted with the GWVI print file for folks who want correct versions. If anyone returns their GWIV coin(s) to us I'll be sure to let you know because we're not putting any more out there on our site - well we did offer to donate a set of 3 to next year's GWVII for the auction block .

+Landsharkz Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 We are going to send the rest of the tracking numbers to the mint and get more minted with the GWVI print file for folks who want correct versions. We have listed the correctly printed GWVI psychedelic guitars for sale and folks who contacted us directly and also folks who are on our newsletter list have had first crack for a couple of days. The minting quantities were 40 - 40 - 90 and I think they're about half gone. This is just one of the 3 colour combinations available. The others are blue-green (90) and purple-orange (40) combinations. GWVI Psychedelic GeoGuitar Quote Link to comment
