First off, he's offereing a lot of guitars that are allegedly signed. If you notice a couple of them are Van Halen with DAVID LEE ROTH and Pink Floyd with ROGER WATERS. Neither Roger nor Dave would be near the other band members for a signature.
He's offering Led Zeppelin signed guitar. When's the last time Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were playing together and signing guitars?
A Madonna signed guitar?
A Guns N Roses guitar signed by the original members?
The posts photos with a tile floor as a background, just seems a little unprofessional considering what he's offering.
His feedback is hidden. But for a scammer (if that's what it is), it's not too bad:
Feedback Score: 4724
Positive Feedback: 98.2%
Members who left a positive: 4811
Members who left a negative: 89
All positive feedback received: 6423
Legitimate, professional autograph companies will bring a stack of pick guards to concerts, have them signed and install them on guitars when they sell.
A lot of these are signed on the body, it's a bit unwieldy to cart around a guitar, let alone several. That's another reason to be suspicious.
The fact they're all the same, not really. They're just cheap guitars. But who would want an Eddie Van Halen signed guitar that's not something he plays?

people like this is why baseball players and other pro atheletes are not allowed to sign anything without getting paid.. you and i the little man say that is BS Barry Bonds is an *******, oh wait bad example but you'll get the just of it in a minute, but in reality his contract clearly states that he CANNOT sign anything for free.. and this is why - now they cash in with certificates of authenticity, etc. the big companies win again and the little guy, us, loses.. we should track this idiot down and beat him until he can't fake sign anything EVER again.. welcome to 2005 and the deadbeats of the world making it a screaming sesspool of shiiit..

Was he ever able to get the name off so the value would go up on the guitar? :wink:

I've heard from several baseball card collectors and store owners that cards are often worth less when they're signed because it "defaces" the card, or something like that. Regardless, this guy has WAY too much autographed stuff for it all to be authentic. But what's the law on fake "certificates of authenticity"? Hell, anyone can say something is authentic, but is that certificate legally binding? Just questions, but I would never buy anything from that guy anyway.
