It's not a guitar Prince used. It's just the guard that's signed and has been put on that guitar.

Couldn't say if it was genuine or not but it's got a certificate. Could well have been from a guitar they signed for a competition or something?

Seen one of these before and I asked Wendy and Lisa about it decades ago.
They said the band signed several pick guards back in 1984-1986 for charity auctions and what not, this is probably one of those guards that has been put on a cheap guitar...

Lucky buyer since it went cheap...

Since I consider buying autographs to be pretty stupid AND the guitar is a flaming piece of shit, I'd say rip off.

Yeah, that makes me kinda think it's fake. To have the entire band's signatures at the height of their fame? That would easily bring in $1000 or more. Plus, how much can you trust "autographs america .com"??

That being said, it seems like a nice piece to look at, if you don't mind paying $200 for a wall furnishing.
