It may be hard to tell the legitimacy and authenticity of an autograph if you are not a memorabilia specialist. There are many methods you can take to find out if the autographed item is genuine.

If you own an autographed guitar or other forms or autograph memorabilia and want to prove to possible buyers of your item that it is indeed genuine, there are third party autograph authenticators that you can send your item to and have them verify your item to professional exemplars and give you an opinion about the item. Besides authenticators, there are a select few music autograph dealers that are highly knowledgeable about autograph guitars and other music memorabilia items and sometime they will be able to give you advice on your item.

I am not saying a third party authenticator is perfect, because they are not. They only give you a opinion about the item saying if its genuine or not and this costs a fee, but on the other hand reputable third party authenticators issue you authenticity documentation that may be more marketable for your item.

Another way to have your item authenticated is to send it to a professional handwriting expert that deals with signatures.

Music artists rarely sign guitars compared to albums and posters or other small memorabilia products.

If you aren’t a record label or industry company that is selling autographed guitars for charitable reasons or contests, many artists will simply deny any requests to sign a guitar. This difficulty is outweighed by fans’ desire to have that perfect piece of memorabilia, which has created a large market for fake autographs and scam artists selling nothing for thousands of dollars.

This is why you need to take the steps to ensure anything you consider buying is legitimate. To verify the authenticity of autographed guitars, you should always buy from a reputable memorabilia broker if possible.

If you see a signed guitar or other autographs that you are interested in and ready to buy, be sure to consult with the dealer and do research on that person and also take further steps to contact other opinions about the item. I look at it if you are serious enough to spend thousands of dollars on that particular memorabilia piece then you can put the time and effort to check its legitimacy.
