It probably is NOS. I doubt he'll get his opening bid.

About 5 years ago I saw a NOS Victory Custom in a store, it was included in the stock of another small store the owner had bought out. It was unsold and unplayed, but it had developed a big hump in the fretboard in the 9th-12th fret area and the orange peel in the lacquer was awful. He was only asking $600 but it needed a lot of work.

Anything that's sat around this long, I would ask a lot of specific questions.

Purdy. For an unscathed one in that rare tobacco sunburst fin and as a rare Custom (Artists and Standards are more prevalent) to boot, the opening bid is acceptable.
