Signed guitars on Ebay

This seller is punting an old Framus signed by Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, fancy that! looks like 3 of them have used the same magic marker except for The Killer who used a white one. Nice spiel "I've been told its genuine" Oh great, heres £20,000 mate.

And then we have the  Hendrix signature Silvertone, Am I just being a bit cynical?

Apologies for the triple post. Was a glitch in the matrix

£20,000?
Change the comma to a full stop & I MIGHT be interested.

Someone got all those greats to sign it and there isn’t a single picture? Hmmm, that sounds plausible...

DrJazzTap

He must have caught Hendrix on the Tuesday afternoon when he wasn't high as a kite.

If a signed guitar was something that I was remotely interested in (which I'm not) I would absolutely want a photo of whoever signed it with the guitar..

Horse for courses but in my view it detracts rather than adds anything..

I've got a 2017 signed by Hendrix if anyone wants it 

Sassafras

I don't understand the suspicions about their authenticity, Christie's VERBALLY confirmed that they're genuine.
What more proof do you want?

Creed_Clicks

I'd never buy a signed guitar. Ever.

HAL9000

Isn't the Hendrix one more likely to be singed (as in rhymes with unhinged)?

Vintage-T

The note confirming validity reads like one of the emails I get from Nigeria everyday...must be legit!

Snags

Things is, that lot all did the circuit together when they were starting out (well, possibly apart from Elvis, but their paths must have crossed early on) so it's sort-of feasible. Which, of course, is the basis of a good con job

You'd definitely want some kind of additional photos, mementos or supporting evidence though.

And another one signed by the original Led Zepellin line up same seller same vague guarantee of authenticity. I predict that these will never sell.
