Hi I was given a guitar by Bille Joe Armstrong from Green Day at Rock Werchter Festival 2010.

I pretty sure the guitar is a custom Fender Tele customised to look old and distressed even though it was possible brand new before the festival. It has also been modified to have different pick ups.

All brands are missing from the guitar but it is signed by Billie Joe Armstong. I could prove that I was the one who was given the guitar.

From an insurance view the guitar currently has not been valued/certified etc. How would I go about this?

I know that his famous blue Strat is a parts guitar and not Fender. Sounds like the same here. I own a Warmoth Strat copy and it came without logos. If you take the guitar appart you might find some info on it.

Don't know where you live, but musical instruments are usually covered under your homeowner's insurance and have very little value beyond replacement cost for a similar type instrument. You would have to get a specific policy or rider to cover it for more. But, without some sort of documentation, as far as insurance is concerned you have a parts guitar with little value. I'm sure their first question would be "Who is Billie Joe Armstrong". After you tell them, their response would probably be "So what?".

A similar guitar was given to a friend of mine. Just couldn't remember who it's from. He also can't find any logo for what specific brand the guitar is. He tried to research about it but got tired so eventually he gave up and just be happy with his guitar.
