That's for sure. Controversial, but had a major impact on American
music and other musicians.



Here's a chance to own some memorabilia and get a tax break, too:

There are also two from B.B. King on that site.

You know, prople that do that ought to do their homework. That guitar new is worth about a hundrid fifty bucks.. Some radio station probably had a promo to give it away. Yeah it may have Chucks sig on it but the value is set at 2G and its already over 5000???
If someones wanting an investment, this isn't it.

I'm not saying it is. If someone wanted it, they could use the
difference in the price paid and the fair market value of $2000 as a tax
deduction. Right now, that would be worth around $1000 depending on
your tax bracket.

I agree 100 percent Tim. I lost count of how many people came to my
shop with a "one of a kind" collectable guitar signed by an artist ...
usually only on the pick guard. If Fender, they were usually MIM
versions (made in Mexico) or even a Squire.

Had one guy who came in trying to load me up with Gibson guitars. They
were all Chinese fakes. By that time I had done my homework and I knew
how to detect the fakes. When I pointed out to him why I knew they were
fakes he finally confessed. Said he had gone to China and had bought
about 100 of them dirt cheap, thinking he could ship them back here and
make a fortune.

Alex, that is a "Huntington" telecaster knockoff. It's not a Fender.
They are ultra cheap guitars .... Guitar Center has a similar used
"Huntington" for sale for $49.99

I checked the pic and blew up the image of the head stock. It's not a
Fender. It's a "Huntington". Huntington builds ultra cheap junk guitars.

The fair market value of that Huntington guitar is about $35-$40.

Around here, the signed guitars are usually a Fernandes, Lotus, JB Player, etc. Not even a Squier. Some crap brand that the signing artist wouldn't be caught playing if they had to.

These usual pop up right before a big rock concert which is promoted by your local "Rock 105" radio station.

My son in law used to work at a Music-go-round and a lady brought in wone of these strat wannabe's that had Tom Pettys name on it. She "won" it on Ebay for a couple grand and thought she could double her money with it She was insulted when they only offered her 75.00 for it.

At least this one has a pic of Chuck playing his legendary guitar on it right below the bridge.

Now those fake gibbons, were those the Les Pauls with the 3 screw truss rod covers instead of the customary 2? I heard they were such an excellent copy they fooled many an expert until somebody noticed that flaw. I also heard they were beautiful but the tone was less than desirable...

Ha! Didn't even read the description. Can't believe the current bid is
over $5K.
