Lovely. Not what I would have associated with her.

How wonderful, a gorgeous mid 60's 360/12 hanging in a restaurant with a big ugly scrawl on it. :(

Surely it's better that someone's 'surplus guitar' is on display, where it can be seen every day,
rather than in a lock-up somewhere?

It looks all Raitt to me. Certainly a connection of which I was unaware. Now we have something to talk about.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

If I could buy that guitar, I would bust out the acetone and wipe that stupid signature off for good. ;)


I just don't understand the whole concept autographs at all...

Collin, that's exactly what I thought when I saw that wonderful guitar.

Maybe she wants to be sure she gets it back when the display is done! :D

No biggie. If it were a double bound model I might be upset..... ;) :lol: :wink:
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

I wonder if it's even her signature? She does not strike me as being the type of person to sign a guitar that is not associated by in large with her act. Maybe a forensic expert can enlighten us?

collin...if you saw my autograph, it was so large that i left no space for my other three band mates ! :twisted:

and also why i used to type in caps when i first joined the forum. :wink:

i don't think it was her guitar, probably just given to her to sign so they could hang it up...sniff, sniff...never to be played again ! :cry:

No one? Really? Fine, I'll say it...

Well-played, Peter!

Everything the HRC buys has proof of provenance, or they don't touch it.
They're not prepared to spend any money on fakes.
It would devalue the rest of the collection.

Is a guitar signed for an auction by a good cause a fake, as it's not really been played by the artist?

I remember on Spotify one could win a Squier signed by Michael Stipe... now THAT is a fake to me!
