For all of the authentic autographed guitars in the world, there are probably two or three times as many fakes out there. It's very difficult to prove the legitimacy of any signature, and with so many people making a living off of fake collectibles, many wonder how they'll ever really know if their item is legitimate or not.
There are a limited amount of reputable dealers as well as autograph authenticators that know an "authentic signature". These people like my self are pushing to strip these forgeries out of the market, but on the other hand we are going against professional artists that spent many hours perfecting the fake signature.
Autographed guitars are one of the rarest pieces to obtain in the autograph industry, because they are hard to get signed. Many artists have no problem signing albums, CD's, posters and other small scale items. To have an artist sign a guitar is a greater accomplishment than any other item obtained.
However, these items do exist, and can be found with authentic signatures, if you know where to look. About 70% of the products found online are usually fakes of some sort. These can be copies, forgeries, or even just ads with no real memorabilia to back them up.
There are few memorabilia collectors and dealers out there are sticking together in attempt to stop these people who are making a living selling fake memorabilia without any consequences. The fraud artists still exist in today's market and will continue to produce fake signatures and profit from their scams.
Many people get overexcited when they see a signed item from their favorite artist. They often don't take the necessary steps and research to determine if the item is legit that they are purchasing. In many cases they just take the seller's advice and continue to spend the money on something that may be possibly not genuine.
If you're interested in buying autographed guitars, you need to ensure that you are purchasing them from reputable dealers or sellers, and that the product you're getting is authentic. If you're not certain, don't invest the money.
When it comes down to spending your hard earned money on autographed guitars or other signed memorabilia, make sure the item is authentic. When an item is authentic it becomes an investment and the value will continue to rise over the years. There are many forgeries out there in the world and scam artists continue to produce them for a quick buck by taking advantage of the uneducated. Do your research on the signature(s) as well as the dealer and you will find that authentic piece of memorabilia. All the Best Mark Turgeon - 15359
