I just got a Fender Straocaster, Model 013-9202 that's been signed by Creed, wondering how much it's worth?

It's hard to value "artist signed" guitars as at the end of the day it's really just worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You'd have a basic value for the guitar and then whatever value a fan of the artist might place on the signatures.

Signed by Creed? Knock about 40% off blue book! :wink: :wink:

just kidding, but aside from some uber celebrities who seemingly have a cottage industry revolving around their memorabilia it's really hard to nail down how much it affects the value of the instrument. Also if you don't have proof of some kind, then the signature is just damage to the finish.

The only value other then the worth of the guitar would be to a Creed Fan. Guitarist want guitars to play not admire an autograph. Have then sign the pick guard that way you can remove it.

LMAO!!!

I'm in complete agreement with you. Years ago I had a Gibson Melody Maker signed by Ace and Paul of Kiss. I even had a picture of me standing with them where Ace was holding the guitar. I still had a hard time convincing some people the guitar was in fact signed by them as I had no direct verification other than it 'might' have been the guitar in the picture with us. Go figure.

I don't know what it would be worth but if they all got killed by a wayward meteorite the value would triple over night.

Isn't that the sad truth. Whatever happened to Creed anyway? They had a couple hits.

When it comes to signed guitars as much as someone is willing to pay. The hard part is authenticating the signature as most on ebay are fakes and people really avoid them.

Luckily i have a picture of them signing the guitar, i understand it hard to out a price on things like that. I was curious on how much it might be worth I did find out it was made in 1996 its a Jimmie Vaughn Tex Mex Strat, Popular Body Soft V Maple Neck, Tex Mex Pickups neck/middle, Extra Hot Tex Mex bridge pickup, bridge pickup tone, US Vintage Hardware, Strap lock ready.
