The appearance as first announced by ABC News radio on 26th January along with an appearance on Good Morning America (which has obviously now been scrapped).

Jill, the owner of one of Phil's handpainted Japanese design PC1 guitars, wanted to verify it was authentic. She is shown taking the guitar into the shop at the start of the show and talking to Rick Harrison - co-owner of the ' World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop' in Las Vegas, NV.

The guy in the store then surprises her when Joe and Phil turn up.

Joe and Phil stopped by the shop and were happy to look at the guitar and verify that it was indeed one of Phil's originals. Joe and Phil arrived at the shop towards the end of the show for a four or five minute segment.

It turned out to be Number 3 of the original batch.

Joe and Phil both spoke briefly during the scene and Phil demonstrated the guitar by playing a short solo in the shop.

It's unclear when this was filmed as the band played its last visited Las Vegas for a show on 29th October 2014.

Pawn Stars 2016 - Joe Elliott/Phil Collen Quotes

Phil - "Actually I done 30 of these. It was Jackson Guitars 30th anniversary and for that I splash painted 10 more like practice run ones. And if it's one of the ones I did. I can tell you really easy because it's got my signature on it."

Joe - "In Japanese."

Phil - "Oh that as well. That says Phil in Japanese."

Phil - "And what's interesting because this was one of the ones I practised on. The first 10 have got #AP1 to 10."

Joe - "I remember this. I remember when you were doing these."

Phil - "Yeah this is definitely one of the ones I did."

Joe - "Come back to roost."

Phil - "I can verify this is 100 percent one of the 30 I did. I've got two of them. I've got Number one and Number two. That is Number 3."

Joe - "And I can verify that he is absolutely 100 percent the real Phil Collen."

Phil - "That's me!."

Phil - (After short solo) "Definitely works!."
