DO U BELIEVE THIS? A PRINCE AUTOGRAPHED CUSTOM GUITAR

This beautiful guitar is a brand new Fender Strat style full size electric guitar hand signed in person by Prince. It is my understanding that he is NOT allowed to sign Prince anymore for legal reasons with a record lable. Regardless of any reasons, this is 100% authentic as he signed it for us in person and this is the only one we know of that anyone got. In all the years and attempts to obtain his autograph, this is the ONLY time we were able to get him to sign ANYTHING so bid now while this lasts as I'm quite confident this is one of the ONLY authentic signed Prince items on eBay....

That is so fake! He can sign his name, afterall it is HIS name. Besides not signing autographs anymore 4 religious/personal reasons I can't see him signing something like this anyway...Looks kind of cheesy to me-expensive cheese never the less...Aloha~

even if that's real, why would you just want the letter P written by Prince? I've seen his REAL signature and it's nothing like that. Plus to mention the fact that he does sign anything cause of his beliefs, I also agreed with wishuhvn there is no way he'd sign that is to tacky it ain't his style.

No...the replicas that are made by Schecter don't come loaded with EMG pickups. They come loaded with a "duncan designed" single coil and humbucker.

None of the ebay listings I've read claim that these copies were guitars Prince actually played anyway.

hold on...

the first one is just cheesy.
looks more like j. johnson

the next two are the replicas, but just don't have that...
exact...
shape

the last one, however, looks like real signatures to me.
was there some kind of promo back in '88 that it was intended for?

WAIT

nope

the evidence lies in the name "Mike"

letter of authenticity, my pants!

Those autographs are reprints of the ones in the Lovesexy Tourbook.
You don`t believe me? Well, check your tourbook.
What a lame ass trick to make money.
I hope nobody is going to buy that crappy guitar.
