Oberheim SEM Modded for Keith Emerson?

via this auction.

Details
"Oberheim CPS-1 that have been modified especially for Keith Emerson back in the 1970's. We have no official documents that certify that but since it have really been modified for him, I'm saying it here on ebay and if someone knows him and ask him, he will remember this synthesizer because it's unique in the world. (the modification I mean)."

Update : for anyone considering this one, be sure to check out the comments of this post and of course be sure to check out all the feedback."

  1. Take a look at this guy's feedback. You'll notice that he won a bunch of 1 cent auctions in the beginning to boost his feedback real quick and give people the false impression that he's a good Ebayer. Pretty sleazy!

  2. I think it's odd that he says it's been modified but doesn't say how.

  3. I used to have an SEM exactly like that one. Strangely, I'm not Keith Emerson, nor have I ever had his haircut.

  4. yeah but the best mullet award for *best mullet ever* is the early 70's restyled Rod Stewart! he's the dreamiest. Ric Ocasek had a beautiful mullet, too. i don't think this seller is untrustworthy at all. i think he's the dreamiest

  8. Keith never had an Oberheim SEM, customized or otherwise. Got that from the horses mouth, so to speak.
