Autographed Guitars: Avoid Professional Forgeries
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 very few professional memorabilia experts with exemplar signature(s) experience out there that are pushing to eliminate the world of forgery autographs, but on the other hand they are competing against people that have spent countless hours perfecting a fake signature.
Autographed guitars are one of the rarest pieces of memorabilia to get your hands on, because they are the most difficult type of collectible to get signed. Artists sign thousands of posters, CD's, LP's, and other small scale items throughout their careers. However, getting an artist to sign a guitar is not as easy of an accomplishment.
Authentic autographed guitars do exist, if you know where to find them with proper research. About 75% of autographs found online are not real. These forgeries are sold by people that call themselves professional dealers, but meanwhile they are complete scam artists with no credentials of professionalism in the autograph industry.
Many memorabilia dealers and collectors are banding together in an attempt to stop the people who are succeeding without consequence at selling this fake material. However, the fraud artists do still exist, and will continue as long as they are profiting from their scams.
Too many people get overexcited when they find autographed guitars with their favorite band's signatures on it. Then they often don't take the necessary steps to determine the validity of the item they're purchasing; they just take the seller's word for it and spend money on something that might be fake.
If you are truly interested in purchasing a pure authentic autographed guitar, make sure the dealer or sellers are completely honest and 100% authentic. Many authentic dealers have their items certified along with supplying proof photos of the artists that signed their items. If you are not sure about the autograph or if the item(s) listed are too good to be true, then it's probably fake and I highly suggest you walk away from buying that item.
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
