There's not much more in rock'n'roll when it comes to collectibles then The Rolling Stones. This is a Squire Stratocaster electric guitar signed by the band including Charlie watts who recently passed away. The gentleman who had this in his collection was the maker of their tour jackets as well as other bands in the country. When he sold off his collection. I purchased seven others including his 2nd Rolling Stones guitar.I was showing this to a friend who picked it up and started playing it and unfortunately smeared Mick Jagger signature a little. Yes, my heart sank, and I realized that it was going to hurt the value. This starting value of $1250 is still way below what this is worth!It comes with his backstage pass where the guitar was signed, and I will guarantee it will pass our authenticator. The charge to do that is an additional $100 so please let us know if you would like us to send it out before it is sent to you. you can research the company that I purchase it from to verify their legitimacy and there are no issues of any sort that I can find.
