Obtaining a signed guitar is a big deal for those dedicated fans. What can be a better piece of memorabilia than having your own signed guitar from your favorite band or artist? The only problem is finding or getting an authentic signed guitar are hard to come by.
Posters and pictures are more common, because these can be purchased and autographed at the concerts. You can’t exactly tote a guitar into a concert and hang on to it until you get to the autograph table. However, if you are lucky enough to get a signed guitar by a band or artist, you need to know what you’re holding on to.
Autographed guitars are worth much more than other autographed music memorabilia because they are harder to obtain and more rare within the industry.
All you have to do is search for a memorabilia collectibles dealer, and look at their prices for an autographed guitar. Most of the guitars sell less than $5,000 dollars, but there are those one of a kind signed guitars like Jimmy Hendrix, that can easily fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars. It all depends who signed the guitar and the quality of the signature and guitar itself and of course the authenticity.
Most collectors try to find an autographed guitar in mint condition. Guitars are just instruments, but to actually get one played by an artist and signed on top of that is worth way more money than a brand new guitar.
Sure, an autographed guitar is cool to have, but one that was actually played, sweat on, and worn in by the artist is way cooler. Would you rather have a mint condition Fender acoustic signed by all the Beatles, or one that was played by John Lennon in their last tour, and then signed by everyone?
Having your signed guitar authenticated by a professional will increase the value of the piece and will be more marketable to the industry if you decide to sell your item. There are so many forgeries and fakes in this world. So having it authenticated may help the value and separate your signed guitar from the fakes.
If you did not get a proof photo of the artist for your signed guitar, then its best to contact a memorabilia collectibles dealer so they can try to prove the authenticity of your item. Always, research before you buy a signed guitar or other memorabilia collectibles. There are a select few of authentic autograph memorabilia dealers that can help an assist you with your decision making.
