ive got it out to my fellow guitar gunslingers, the guitar is junk sorry to say, a boat paddle at best, but the signatures may redeem it, we'll see.
Yes, I knew the guitar was bottom of the barrel type. Then again what the guy traded me for was likely going in the trash or to salvation army if I didn't find anyone for it. My thinking was the guitar is easier to move around than 4 boxes full of showtunes albums. The only thing of value I gave up was a wood cabinet but not that much value. Even if it's not worth anything I'll hang it on the wall next to my other autographed guitar. I really just wanted to find out who signed it since that will usually be the first question I am asked about it.
It was mine..... I was baby sitting my niece and she got ahold of it with some markers in her hand..... I never really learned to play very well, and traded it to some college kid for an 1/8 of krypto
Sorry I took so long to follow up @The Waterboy. From Vinnie: "Now that I saw the headstock, Strat type but not a Strat. It's a step up from a decent looking piece of garbage. Those guitars are not worth a lot. I've see them from $50 - $100 bucks. The signatures could increase the value depending on who they are but overall I wouldn't hold my breath. The reason I say that is because although famous people sign bar napkins the odds of a famous person signing a newish cheap guitar THEY owned are almost nil. It's more reasonable that someone bought a cheapo specifically to have someone sign it for them but I wouldn't hold my breath on that, either. I'll ask my partner if he knows anyone who might be able to take a stab at the sigs but it's a bit of a needle in a haystack because it's not like the guy in the barter said Rick Nielsen signed it so you could ask someone to authenticate from there even without paperwork or provenance. Sorry I couldn't offer more than that." :/
Thank you to you and Vinnie. I wasn't expecting much with the guitar but since $50 is more than I was trying to sell what I traded for it I think I'm ahead of the game. Guess I'll hang it on the wall at the new abode and make up different stories each time someone asks.
I just saw this thread WaterBoy-----I will show the pix to my son tomorrow , he plays and is into this stuff and I will see if he has a guesstimate for you or if he knows a guy who knows a guy who has a friend who can help.
