Welcome to the Forum.

Looks like the first letter is an "S". How about a closer pic?

I had trouble attaching the photos of the front and back to photobucket, so I e-mailed them to you (I think). Let me know if it didn't work. How could it be a Ymgwie Malmsteen with someone elses signature on it ?

It's a .gif file. I think you should be able to zoom in on it from the tool bar.

Could they have put a different neck on a non-signature model ? If so, the question still remains, whose signature is that ?

By the way, that is not strung correctly.


Can you get a closer pic of the signature? I'm not finding anything yet.

If it were a bitmap image you could zoom in on it, but every time I try to post it on Photobucket it converts it from a bitmap to a jpg image. Could I e-mail it to you as a bitmap ? I don't have the guitar in my possession yet to take a closeup jpg image. I was wanting to research it before I bought it. I can get it for $ 330.00 but I just want to make sure I don't get burned. Do you think this was maybe a very limited edition signature model ? ccross AT embarqmail DOT com

You're right ! It is strung incorrectly. I'll fix that. Also, I know I need to check the neck for straightness, but how do I make sure all of the pickups work ? I'm a rookie at this.

In Photobucket you can zoom pictures once, however the picture is not close up enough even zooming it.

You are thinking about buying that? What does the current owner say it is?

I'm thinking it may be a fake. There's no skunk stripe on the back of the neck.

Do the bridge saddles say anything? Is there a Serial Number or a "Made in ..." marking anywhere?

It almost looks like the signature is "Stevie Ray Vaughan" :!: :!: :!:

The more I look at it, the more the little man in my head says "Fake, Fake, Run Away, Very Quickly!"
