Even if you find DNA from the actual maker, maybe he only touched it. Dating only proves the age of the wood and within a given range. It does not prove who made it or when.
Also, in this country, ignorance is no excuse for the Law. Intention may increase the degree of the charges but theft is theft.

I was thinking that even with expert opinion and the such , maybe it would be possible to carbon date a finish perhaps , just to add to the authenticity / I'm no expert on carbon dating but was under the impression that it was pretty damn accurate !
How often have you seen players with basses that are not what they think they are because they were duped, and have you seen fakes coming out of any of the better known retailers in the US ?
Also have you ever seen fakes that are almost visually like the real thing ?
