FAKE SIGNED GUITAR

Snoopy Died For Our Sins · April 2009

Look everyone..virtually every autographed guitar is bullshit...I usually **** out my cuss words but this is just too much for me...and it should be for you.....ever notice that EVERY guitar is signed JUST ON THE PICKGUARD and it's on a fucking worthless piece of crap guitar???!!!! Come on everyone...wise up....I saw a SRV autograph on a fucking Epiphone Les Paul (Pickguard) in Vegas for $5000..They didn't even make that fucking guitar when he was alive.....Besides, an ACTUAL autograph is only worth as much as it is worth to its OWNER...I was one of the VERY LUCKY BASTARDS to get an autographed SDE and it's MINE...it's valuable to me because I love it, not because it's in a fucking shop that's trying to fuck some poor sucker out of a TON of money... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Sorry for all the cursing, but I'm just tired of all the scammers................

It's sad but I bet most of the stuff out there isn't real. Where did you see the SRV guitar? The unfortunate thing is that when I thought the guitar was real it did mean the world to me. After I found out, I wanted to splinter the f*cker. Congrats on the SDE that is bad assed!!!!!

To be perfectly honest, it was a couple of years ago in a shop in the Aladdin which is now Planet Hollywood on the Vegas Strip.the jerk manager at the store also had a 'rare, limited to 500 copies GOLD box set of NIRVANA rarities for $1000) my wife was encouraging me to buy the box set, but I told her right in front of the guy that it was a load of shit and the guy's shop was a fucking joke...I also pointed out to him that Stevie Ray wasn't even alive when he supposedly autographed the Epiphone....Cunty bastards..bottom line, just don't trust these bullshit shops.and if you're buying on Ebay, read the feedback, look at how long they've been on Ebay, see if they've changed usernames, etcetera........

PEACE

P.S. Sorry for all the potty mouth.I will not do it again.....just BURNS me up!!!!!!!!

No worries on the mouth I have one on me as well.

That is so funny that you said that shop. We were in there last year loking at a PJ "signed" accoustic which is where he got the idea to buy one. So tell me this since I am such a naive dumb ass.....how do they get away with it? How can you open up a shop in a huge casino on the Vegas strip if all your shit is fake? Why is it allowed? Is there some disclaimer that says even though you think you are buying an authentic item with a "COA" you might not be?????

So, as many of you might have seen last week I found out I had a very fake signed guitar. It was bought for me as a gift and not being an autograph collector I had no clue. I want to thank 100 Pacer, pdalowsy, and Wilds for pointing out that it was a complete fake! (This was later confirmed by two sources at 10C) If you guys hadn't have seen it and said something I would still be sitting on a very expensive piece of junk signed by some meth head tweakin in a basement. The guitar wasn't even good enough to play.
After several very heated arguments with the owner of STARMARKS.NET my money was finally refunded in full. Once I told him I was going to call everyone and their brother until I got my money back, he caved. He said my bullshit wasn't worth the trouble. Hmmmmm I wonder why that is??? He still insists all of his shit is completely legit.
Whatever you do, don't ever buy anything from STARMARKS.NET. :evil:

Thanks Again!

I was just curious and went to this site after reading your post. This is what they had for Authenticity:
http://www.starmarks.net/authenticity.php
this part made me laugh:
Remember, you aren't just buying an autographed product, you are also buying part of the reputation of the company selling it. With Starmarks you can make your purchase with confidence and know you are getting the highest quality money back guarantee on authenticity.

FUCKERS! :roll:

I spent a good amount of time on the phone with 10C this morning looking at the STARMARKS website with them. They are reporting the company to the PJ legal department so hopefully they will be forced to stop selling that bullshit.

Wish I worked in the PJ legal dept.

Well I am glad u got it figured out liek I said earlier to u I have been doing this for a long time and it is obvious that he knew it was fake other wise he wouldnt of gave in so easy the said part about it is that he will take that guiter wait a month or so and then resale it. I have a guitar I am working on now it has 3 members on it. If u ever need any advice on something like that I am not a total expert but I do have alot of knowledge. By they way do u have any thing signed by the band at all.

I should say also, that it's not always a FAKE item...like with the SRV guitar...at some point, some douchebag offers Stevie Ray $10,000 to sign a bucket of pickguards before he died...then, said douchbag puts said pickguards on a guitar that SRV has never seen, smelled, touched, etcetera...and with the PJ stuff in Vegas (especially) I could fully imagine some manager type walking into the dressing room and saying hey guys, come sign this here guitar for so-and-so and the guys quickly scribble their names...this HAS to be part of the gig...there is an element in EVERYONE'S job, no matter how 'in control' or how 'cool' they are where they HAVE to do something...you think the managers, producers and label guys arent 20 times richer that our beloved PJ? I just wish it wasn't so...and Vegas is a great market for this, as the shop owners are simply hoping that one of us hits a jackpot and loses our fucking minds and buys a $40 acoustic that spent eighteen seconds of its life backstage at Mandalay Bay..

Mike Gossard · April 2009

THEY PUT THE EXACT GUITAR UP FOR SALE THE DAY AFTER THEY GOT IT BACK!!!! I THINK IT'S ON THERE AS I TYPE RIGHT NOW. IT WASN'T EVEN 24 HOURS AFTER THEY GOT IT BACK THAT IT WAS UP FOR SALE AGAIN. FUNNY THING IS (HIND SIGHT IS 20/20) IT IS IN BETTER SHAPE THEN WHEN THEY SENT IT TO ME. THE FRETS WERE RUSTY AND I FUCKING POLISHED THEM TO GOOD AS NEW. I FIGURED AH WELL IT CAME FROM FLORIDA WHERE IT IS HUMID. WE ARE ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING AT HOW DUMB WE ARE. LOOK HOW BAD WE WANTED IT TO BE TRUE. LOOK AT THE COA!!!!! THAT LITTLE 4 1/2 YEAR OLD GIRL ON THE PC COMMERICAL COULD OF MADE IT. (SHE PROBABLY SIGNED IT TOO)

Awww... I'm sorry to hear about this :( Just hold out for your own REAL autographs

HeavyHands · April 2009

Really, congratulations on getting your refund. I'm sorry that you had to bear the brunt of that guy's displeasure with being called out but the bottom line is that you won. It's a lesson for everyone. Stand up for what you know is right in the face of adversity. Cheers.

Hmm... makes me think we should review multiple items on his website...
