Members vcnyls Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Since when does Zakk Wylde's autograph take a guitar that's $950 used and bump it up to $8000!! I don't care if you're the biggest Zakk fan in the world, this is crazy! http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/msg/1625898956.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Fiasco Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm surprised he can even write his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CoqBelliqueux Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm surprised he can even write his name. Zakk? C'mon. It's just an act! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Zakk's sig should lower the price by $950. Can he really write his name or does he just spit beer on your guitar and call that his sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mazi Bee Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 People seem to think if any idiot who is famous or semi famous or used to be famous signs something it adds value. Maybe if it was Elvis, Lennon or Jesus. Anybody else and all they did really is deface your guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belva Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 If the seller is a major meth addict, he thinks the sig adds to the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members crawfish Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 People seem to think if any idiot who is famous or semi famous or used to be famous signs something it adds value. Maybe if it was Elvis, Lennon or Jesus. Especially if those autographs within the last year or two!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Artslinger Posted March 4, 2010 Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 The only time a autographed guitar is worth much is when a famous player signs one of their well used axes. I don't think most famous muscians would do that unless they are giving one to a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted March 4, 2010 Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 He should charge less. It's gonna be a bitch getting all that ink off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Artslinger Posted March 4, 2010 Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 IMO its worth less with those signatures... seriously. Unless you get them off without ruining the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mfergel Posted March 4, 2010 Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 I always laugh when a signature guitar is signed by a non-signature artist and then sold at crazy prices.......like Billy Corgin signing an Ibanez JEM or Slash signing a Fender strat or Billy Joel signing a Washburn N4.

Members bsman Posted March 4, 2010 Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 I see a lot of CL ads for guitars signed by various b- and c-list "celebrities". The guitars tend to be squier bullet or affinity series, and the mouthbreathers offiering said guitars seem to think a bit of sharpie makes is suddenly worth hundreds. At least this one is a halfway decent guit to start with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Artslinger Posted March 4, 2010 Members Share Posted March 4, 2010 The problem with signatures is they need to be by someone alot of people want, second it is better if they are dead, third it needs to be from someone REALLY REALLY famous, four it should on something connected to them not some random object for example a photo, a song they wrote, a tour book, a record. Autographs of multiple people need a connection of some kind like playing in a band together. This $8000 signed guitar has none of those elements that make these signatures worth anything. Like I said it probably devalues the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
